Do you have everything? Do you have a spreadsheet? If your
lunch money?
I get no lunch money.
It's someone steal your lunch money.
No, I didn't get any. I forgot I left it at home. Well, it's not
alright hidden Well, is it? Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
December 15 2013 Time for your donation media assassination
episode 574.
This is no agenda. The six week
cycle resets in FEMA Region six from the Travis high tide out in
Austin, Texas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry. Oh,
what?
The thing it was flooded in wild.
And your name is?
I'm in. I was I was completely taken aback by that.
What happened? What did you hear?
Wow. Really? Yeah, the the theme?
Oh, it was fine here. I guess Skype gave you an extra special
experience. Would you like to do it again?
I think it would probably be best. Adam curry, John C.
Dvorak.
Sunday, December 15 2013. Time for your donation media
assassination. Episode Five Seven for
this is no agenda.
The six week cycle resets in FEMA Region six from the Java
site timeout in Austin, Texas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley where I unprepared I'm John C.
Dvorak. Raglan Buzzkill.
I'm playing both of those. I think the double open is better
than just one of the two. Yeah, I
just do do it over and over until we get it right.
Eventually we'll get it right. So I'm looking at you know, by
by the way, I've got this HTC One. That's a phone. Yeah, it's
a bits of worst battery hog I've ever seen.
Is this. And now is this a new phone? Is this a Google phone?
Is this a? This is an Android phone? Yeah,
it's an Android phone. I was looking I'm looking here. Let me
look at the list of Wi Fi and
ask your question. Yeah, you didn't buy it. So who gave it to
you?
Leo's Leo's castaway. Okay. By the way, that thing's a battery
hog. I would never buy one of these to hand me down to Leo
hand me down. And I can see why. Yeah. Okay. All right. It's just
laying on Empire which is, which is my Wi Fi name. And then we'll
do both. So the router the router and nucleon Empire five
and, and then and then to wire and then if there's somebody's
around the street, FBI surveillance van. I've,
you've seen this one before your house, I think. Yeah. No way
someone else has told me
about this. Well, there's the FBI surveillance van. I don't
know if it's anything like the booty patrol guy. You mean? Is
the guy around the corner that's got this, this old piece of crap
Datsun and he's got it all painted up. And it says booty
patrol. Where again, do you live? John? This is
Are you outside of Berkeley? Yeah. Makes sense. That just
went off disappeared. That what? The FBI surveillance van. Yeah.
And it's not on the list anymore. Funny. Yeah, hilarious.
Well, you know, it makes sense. I mean, it one of these days,
they're going to catch on to our six week cycle prediction, and
they're going to change it up and report
back to headquarters. Yeah. Hey, you guys know that there's these
two shitheads out on the West Coast yokels. Guys in Texas,
they think and they're David, they've been on to us for like
two years. Is anyone paying attention? Well, apparently
no one is, there's only a couple of people who listen to this
podcast. And that's what it'd be like, Well, what tell me about
this guy's Oh, oh, they're they're podcasting. Oh, don't
worry about it.
Oh, there? Do? You mean, people are still doing that?
Don't worry about them. Yeah. Was this to the day? Exactly. Or
was it one day early? I thought now
it depends. You know, it's, I there's a lot of debate amongst
me and my, my subconscious about how this cycle, does it go from
the last event to the from that day forward? Or is it reset to
the data? So it's supposed to have happened now, which I
believe is the 15th. What I've been noticing over the years is
that most of the events either take part on the first first
part of the month or the 15th, which is the middle and a few.
If you follow it, you would go from the 15th of this month to
the first of February, that's when the next event should take
place. Right. But as somebody pointed out, that's actually
almost seven weeks.
That's like saying you're you're pregnant for nine months when
you're actually pregnant for almost 10 months. There you have
it. Yeah. Okay. Well, I think that since you sent out the
newsletter, just before the was it the day before this half bend
or two days before, and I think you called it. Yeah, I think it
counts. Now, let's be very specific. There were two events
that took place in the United States. This is the baffling
part. Yeah. And I believe they're unrelated and certainly
different agencies, the one that is obviously that adheres to the
six week cycle, which means we have to have the FBI involved.
No evidence whatsoever, is always good. No have no video
evidence, no, nothing, just just some hearsay. And to top it off,
we'd love to have a 33 in there, which I do not think has
appeared yet, but they can appear at any time. It will.
This of course, is the Wichita, Kansas, so called bombing plot.
And then simultaneously we had and I think the FBI has worked
about this. We had a school shooting, which held the
FBI according to that Arapaho douchebag sheriff who I just
noise me to no end where the text is so full of himself. He
says the FBI is there.
Now, why do you think he's felt that? How did I didn't really
get that from him that he's full of himself? Oh, really.
He is so full of them. He reminds me of a post office guy
we used to have here in the little town. And he was like,
I'm like in this town for like, 10 years. And I go in every time
because I got a lot of mail and it wouldn't get through the box.
I had to go pick it up. See your ID sir. Going to hear for 10
years, you idiot. Why do you need them to see my ID ID? Yeah.
Like a bank of the mechanics bank has not asked me for my ID
and a decade. They say hello to me when I walk in, I suppose a
look alike could show up and steal all my money. But it seems
unlikely when
when we call for something on the phone, they always ask the
same security question. Which is, what is the last four digits
of your social? And what office? Did you open the account? Oh,
that's
a good question for you.
Well, I remembered luckily.
Well, I would hope so. Yeah. Well,
it's not all that easy, you know?
Well, you get to think back once you Nikki's
always always saying outside of San Francisco.
closer she can come.
And I always have to think oh, yeah, I remember what it was and
then I'll yell it out. Yeah. Where do you want to start my
good friend? Because there's Well,
let's start with the Wichita event because you have marked up
some of the I was looking at the complaint. And I don't know if
you notice the same thing. I know you marked up to that. That
one graph where it says he attempted to illegally without
some the wording was I have in front of me. But the wording on
that first, that first part, I have the plane? It's like, wait
a minute, would it be if you apparently if you got approval,
you could blow up the airport. So I read it.
Okay, so well, maybe we should just ease into this with a
little bit of the mainstream media reporting so we could
understand how the people are supposed to understand what
happened. This is ABC. Maybe Diana, we do have
other developing news tonight a terror plot in the heartland and
the arrest of a man who worked at an airport in Kansas. Okay,
so this is what you terror plot in the heartland. These are the
things you're supposed to remember this is why it's being
presented to you in this manner.
He is accused of plotting to drive a truck full of explosives
into the airport at Wichita. So how close to the column ABC
senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas on this story.
A deadly plan to detonate a car bomb at this Wichita Kansas
Airport. The suspected bomber Terry Lowen is a local aeroplane
technician who had a security pass to the airport. According
to the FBI, Lauren was planning a suicide operation time to
cause Maximum Carnage and death at the state's busiest airport.
This is a gross gross misinterpretation of the facts
as stated by the FBI themselves in their complaint filed by FBI
Special Agent Steven Koo, cousy knew, which I think is like
causing something kitchen esque koozie No. I mean, this is what
you're supposed to know is that someone was plotting a terror
attack. They had a pass to the airport, they blow everything
out, but nothing could really be further from the truth. The
threat was
real. Terry Lowen was real. I love this. It's real. Hello. The
threat was real. This guy is real. It's real.
Paranoid here about all the people out there they're
noticing that some of this stuff seems to be completely bogus.
I think so too that it goes on. And Terry Logan was committed
to execute this plan at 5:40am. Today low in allegedly drove a
van he thought was packed with explosives to an airport
security gate, but the bomb was a dud It was all a stain
controlled by the FBI.
He was a dud. John the bomb was a dud. What is that it wasn't a
dirt dive no bomb it was it wasn't a dirt.
The FBI became aware of going after he allegedly began posting
radical comments on the internet. They sent agents
posing as Al Qaeda operatives to work with him. Authority say he
was hell bent on murder. He talked about his commitment to
martyr himself as
part of his commitment horrific.
Court documents detail the commitment in a suicide letter
dated Wednesday did he get married to the FBI with his
commitment number 11.
Lloyd allegedly wrote goodbye to his family. My only explanation
is that I believe in jihad for the sake of Allah. And for the
sake of my Muslim brothers and sisters, I expect to be called a
terrorist which I am a psychopath and a homicidal
maniac.
It's so perfect that we have no evidence of this other than what
the FBI has written. We don't have any attached documents. So
we really don't know how much of this is true. And there's a
couple things that jump out of this complaint that we have to
have to discuss 20 More seconds of this
case suggested Osama bin Laden and the radical cleric Anwar
Awlaki continue to inspire from their graves. Oh, yes. Oh,
instead, he read about both men on the internet and was
particularly inspired by a Lucky's 44 ways of jihad, a
handbook for radicalism. Alright.
So let's go through this for a second. Now, you can go to the
show notes, 574, dot any show notes.com and get the entire
marked up copy. With everything that I think really jumps out.
Of course, we have three name's Terry Lee Lowen. Important to
note and the FBI, we've learned now how the FBI files these
complaints that it needs to be a federal case. So what he's
actually accused of is, quote attempted without lawful
authority to use a weapon of mass destruction against people
and property within the United States and such property is used
in interstate and foreign commerce. This is that's the key
right? It has to be like foreign commerce or international air
travel, and the result of the offence would have affected
interstate or foreign commerce.
This I'm still intrigued by the wording at the beginning.
This is the beginning.
I try. I'm saying No, I'm talking about the beginning of
that sentence read it. I read it
on or about December 13 2013, the District of Kansas and
elsewhere, the defendant attempted without lawful
authority
without lawful authority. Yeah.
Well if you're if you're lawful, that
is their lawful authority for blowing up the airport
apparently. Do you find that peculiar that is interesting.
could catch let me put a little box around that. I hadn't even
caught that. Wow. Ah, so let me let's just let's just dissect it
a little bit further just to make sure attempted comma
without lawful authority to use a weapon of mass destruction
against people and property within the United States. You're
right I guess that somewhere we can get that authority.
Yeah, you can obviously get the authority to blow up the
airport. Okay. And kill people. Wow, maybe that's what droning
is all about. I just found that to stand on like a sore thumb
that crazy common funny.
I didn't even catch that. This is one there's two of us. What
you highlighted I thought you had caught it? Well, I've
highlighted it because we know the FBI needs to have some inter
interstate commerce thing otherwise they they can't be
there beat you see?
And then why are they at the school?
Well, hold on let's want one incident at a time. Then count
to maliciously attempted to damage and destroy by means of
an explosive a building vehicle and property used in activity
affecting interstate and foreign commerce. So there's your counts
that allow the United States to participate, according to title
18, United States Code section 232339 A, paragraph B. Ne also
apparently tried to finance some AQa peas, but all of that if you
read through this is all at the encouragement and egging on of
the two FBI agents who are involved in literally
radicalising This guy. Heat because it really go ahead.
Yeah. Well, I'm the way I interpreted that is that the guy
and I think this is anybody can be set up for this. The guy was
another one of these big mouth blowhards. And you run into the
end on some some forum somewhere thinking that he could, you
know, say what he wanted. And then these guys got a hold of
him and slowly radicalised him because, you know, it's like,
would this have ever have happened in a million years
without the FBI itself and we've seen this before. They have seen
this not a sting operation. This is a entrapment operation. It's
a lot different
complete entrapment. on or about August 8 2013 FBI employee was
offered to introduce Lowen to someone who could help him
engage In violent jihad in response, the guy says I'm I
really don't know anything about that. And then later, August 17,
after he's been egged on he says, Oh, now I've read on
Rolla, Locke he's 44 ways of jihad i i like what I've read is
very informative. He even goes so far as to say where I gotta
find this. This is this was hilarious. Or in the report, at
least it says I want to get the exact wording here that he reads
inspire magazine because he likes to stay current on Giani
information. Are you kidding me? Is the readership down on
inspire that the that the FBI now has to pump it up? It's here
quote, low and stated, I read inspire magazine, I believe
believe in staying informed, please how insulting that's the
PDF that floats around that says how to make a bomb in the
kitchen of your mom. And then he goes on to say I have become
radicalised in the strongest sense of the word really is that
would radically radicalise people say I've become
radicalised.
It's not like sound right? It's not like, dude, I'm
really stoned. I mean, okay, that's what really stone people
say. But not dude. I'm really radicalised right now. No, no,
not at all. And he didn't even attempt to blow anything up the
minute. This is this is what I found most interesting. Here's
the final at approximately 5:40am. And the FBI suggested
December 13, FBI employee to and Lo. And so the FBI employee was
with him. At the gate were low and tested his badge. That was
December 11. Then 5:42am, he exited the vehicle attempted to
use his badge twice on the card reader access panel in order to
gain entry to the tarmac, the badge and the code used by Lowen
were unique to him and validated by the security system and would
have opened the gate had it not been disabled. Lowen was taken
into custody after his two attempts at opening the gate. So
he didn't even try to blow he did they didn't even let him hit
the keypad.
I find this to be the most peculiar part of this. Yeah, it
I mean, here's, here's what my interpretation of this is. He's
up there. And he's, and he's up there. And he's sliding to
thing. And then he says to him said, you know, I don't think
this is such a good idea. I mean, if this guy was Siri, and
then so they were had to arrest them there because the FBI knows
it didn't work, right? Because they didn't open.
Well, I don't even know if that's true. But if it didn't
open now says it, why wouldn't they let it open? So he could go
in and push the button because the FBI is always that they get
pushed the button? And I know it says the bad. One of these
events have always been Oh, the OCA dial number dial dial dial
it? You know they, in this case he doesn't even get in. So
what's the crime?
Very well, the crime is attempting. We have the counts.
I mean, you got you gotta listen to the language attempting
without lawful authority. So if he had done the paperwork, and
requested it, it might have been okay. But it's all about
attempt. So it's not even really a horrible thing. And he didn't
do anything. So it clearly is all just about the FBI. And
let's just return to the origin of the six week cycle in order
to maintain budgets in order to maintain the visibility of the
agency, the profile, and quite honestly, to keep people
employed. They have to have some kind of event every six weeks.
That's just the auditing cycle. We've been tipped off to this by
insiders. It hits everything. It's like clockwork almost. In
fact, I stopped wearing a watch because I can just Oh, I know
what time it is, is by wad here in the news. And the FBI and the
US Attorney in Kansas City are touting it as such. This is
shitty audio, but this is the US Attorney where he even plays off
the cynicism of the agency. I was talking with the governor
earlier.
And in this day and age of cynicism about government and
cynicism about law enforcement. I want to tell the members of
our community and folks in our state that this is a shining
example of how good law enforcement how well they work
together. It's it's it was truly a textbook example.
Yeah, textbook example of entrapment. And I want to thank
the Wichita JTTF the FBI, the Sedgwick County Sheriff's
Office, the Kansas Highway Patrol, the Transportation
Security Administration for Wichita Airport Authority and
the Wichita Police Department for the work they did on this
case.
What do you want to bet all those agencies get a nice little
tank Can some body armour and some stuff for staying out of
the way? Basically getting Yeah, nice nice little nuggets of
government. That gets some good stuff. Here's the FBI spokes
hole on of course homegrown terror. Today's arrest however
emphasises that homegrown terrorism is a continuous threat
within the United States. While we feel protected here in the
heartland, in the middle of America, we have a certain sense
of security. But today, again, it reminds us that terrorism
remains very, remains a very real threat. Okay, so he's
stumbling over the lie, his body won't even allow him to speak
it. But that's that's exactly what that's exactly what it is.
It's the cynicism about law enforcement, how well we work
together with the Joint Terrorism Task Force local boots
on the ground, everybody gets their little payoff for staying
out of the way. And it's a reminder, ladies and gentlemen,
a reminder to you that homegrown terrorism is alive and well in
the heartland that's what that's what this is about. And it's
disturbing that we can stand here and wave our arms and jump
up and down and tweet all we like they don't care. It works.
No, it does work and the network's eat it up and they
just there's helps the news cycle Don't forget that.
Well, they blew it. The whole thing got blown. I think the
school shooting overshadowed this entirely.
While the school shooting though, was this a piece of
crap. I mean, the guy comes in it apparently I mean this the
way here's the litany of the story. The story is the
narrative is it was some oversensitive kid who got kicked
off the debating team. And I guess he felt or they may have
been true that he was the best debater, but he was a master
debaters masturbator. Exactly, yes. And he felt that this is an
unjust thing he didn't show i Who knows why this happened. But
he decided to go after the bait guy. So they comes in guns
blazing and then he ends up shooting himself for some
unknown reason, which and of course this all leads I think,
in the no agenda sense. It leads to the binary drug thing
possibly, which is the kid was on medication and in a depressed
mood and maybe his way wasn't debating that well, because if
you're on Prozac, you're not going to really get into a good
debate. So who knows? I mean, we don't know any of the Baxter all
we do know is that this blowhard sheriff who goes on and on and
on about how they're going to everything's got to stop now
because they got to do a thorough investigation of this
one kid who came in because there's so much evidence to
collect let me play a couple of these clips. You tell me that
these get this guy's not just annoying, right? This is a see
what do we got here? I got to I got the Arapaho story that does
that. Oh, by the way, play this is the odd timeline I thought
was weird.
It's a scene that's unfortunately become all too
familiar at US schools. Today. It happened in Centennial
Colorado as students ran out of Arapahoe high school with their
hands raised after reports of a shooting.
It was pretty scary. I wasn't really know. I didn't know what
was going on. I thought it was just a drill until we heard the
gunshots and then we weren't really sure what to do then.
Police say it started when a male student entered the school
and identified a teacher he wanted to confront
Alright, so what you're saying is they thought it was a drill
they were already unlocked down before the gunshots and all this
took place in like a minute and 26 seconds. That's a little out
of order.
I thought that was peculiar.
You know that there was an active shooter drill in
Littleton Colorado scheduled for the exact same day. I really
hate it when this happens.
It was you why'd you you're a hateful person because this
happens all the time. This is
let me give you the name of the outfit and they had no other
drills scheduled whatsoever. Except for this and it was it
was supposed to be a lone wolf active shooter drill at I don't
know if it was specifically at this school Why is my browser
like a hose here? Yeah, the TAC one consulting company and they
and they have it you can see it's still on their on their
website they had they advertised it as they advertise here it is
um, so I gotta restart my browser. Alright, well
while you're doing that you can play can you play clips? Yeah,
of course no problem. Well, here's the one I want to play
well right off the bat as the sheriff blowhard making things
up here he is going on and on and then he supposes what
happened in a very unique you know, he's trying to instead of
being just objective, he's dreaming stuff up and throwing
Get out there as though as part of the scenario and taking
credit he actually takes literally takes credit for the
kid killing himself. Because once the kid was aware that they
had been his number was up because of the great work of
this stupid department. He shot himself and they could they
they've been far as they're concerned, or as far as he's
concerned, the sheriff guy, it's all because they're the great
work that they
do is from the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office. And they
immediately implemented our active shooter protocol. Our
active shooter protocol is exactly the same as the active
shooter protocols that had been trained locally and regionally
and across the United States. And again, yeah,
there was trained like, and for today, even that was
good. I think he should be saying active shooter protocol
more.
Yeah. And that protocol, and that purpose relative to the
active shooter response is to go immediately to the threat and
eliminate the threat. The deputy that is assigned as the school
resource officer did exactly as he was trained, and as he's
expected to do, from the time that the deputy called out the
incident, until the time that he discovered the shooters body was
with was within five minutes. The deputy did his job, school
security did their job. And the additional responding deputy
sheriffs that made up a an active shooter response team did
their job extraordinarily well. I believe that their quick
response and their reaction saved lives in this particular
incident.
And just to pause this for a second, this bothered me a lot.
And this is the the meme that's going on is oh, this kid wanted
to hurt a lot of people, but he supposedly went in asking for
one teacher, just one. And I don't think there's really any
evidence other than one of the so called Molotov cocktails and
I don't
buy any of that I
don't buy it either.
I have no way of knowing nor will I have a way of knowing.
But I believe the shooter new deputy sheriff's were
immediately about to engage him. And I believe that that shoe,
please life. Yeah, because he knew that he had been found
Well, let's
listen to one of the eyewitnesses with speaking of
timeline, this is way
off. He walked in with a shotgun and there are a lot of questions
about him. Sorry,
that's the wrong one. Here's the here's the witness in the weird
timeline. We stayed quiet
and we heard a whole bunch of sounds we heard people yelling,
we heard walkie talkies. And we were hearing like police asked
the shooter to drop the gun and like put the gun down and hold
his arms up.
Did you hear another gunshot after that? Because we're told
by the sheriff that they found the shooter with they found him.
Jake, Jake. Jake. Gonna ask that question, Jake. Jake, we're not
Jake. Jake, is asking a
question with what they described as a self inflicted
gunshot wound. Did you hear another gunshot?
We did not hear another gunshot they could have moved because
the sounds kept getting further away. Let's get rid of this
witness come closer. Oops. Oops.
Put your hands up and then no further gunshots. Oh, gee,
that's inconvenient.
And that's that would explain a couple of things in terms of the
douchebag sheriff. And by the way, I was bitching on Twitter
about this about the kids being marched out like they were in
some labour camp. Yeah, prison camp is like they're in the
Dachau. They you know, you can involved get out there Hands up,
hands on your head. And I had I had this one for your safety. We
are saving you. He says oh, they're just doing their job.
They're just doing their job by humiliating the kids. Where's
the old anyway, I blocked him. So I got sick.
Oh, this is a Twitter fight you had?
Oh, it's terrible.
I think it wasn't because of the wedding. You were feisty. Did
you not get to yell at people during the wedding or something?
You got to do five minutes of stand up. Play douchebag Sheriff
taking his time about how the now this would you just played I
think plays into this clip well, because what it says is that
they have locked down. Firstly makes a big deal. We're closing
the school until at least Sunday. Well, this is a Friday
incident. So what the schools closed anyway, but he makes a
big deal about they gotta they gotta go collect evidence they
got they've got to go over what it sounds like to me is they got
to go in there, lock that thing down and cover their ass.
Our investigation continues and our investigation will go
forward for the remainder of the weekend. We anticipate that
Arapahoe High School will be closed as a result of our
investigation at least through Sunday and possibly longer. We
have a very detailed and a complex investigation to
conduct. We have a great deal of evidence that we need to
evaluate and collect. We will do What right, we won't do it
quick. Our purpose now is to ensure that we serve our
community. So that the end of our investigation our community,
and those that have have interest will understand exactly
how this happened. And we are hopeful that we will be able to
identify why it happened. All right,
so as you know, we have lots of producers in the area, there's a
couple things that I need to run down. It is my understanding and
I've only heard this from one source it is my understanding,
and in fact somewhere I wasn't able to get a clip of it
somewhere someone mentions locked down but there's also the
term lock in being used. And it is my understanding from one
source that the classroom doors can be automatically locked in
that school
just like a prison can
like a prison and and they walk them out like just like in a
prison. Couple of nuances the sheriff this douchebag Sheriff
you know, he announced his retirement the day before just
as it
got me on now just a little
little convenient little thing to mention. Also, when you want
to kill yourself with a shotgun you have to be a journalist
apparently to think that is difficult.
He walked in with a shotgun and there are a lot of questions
about what kind of a shotgun it was. Also one of the questions
that I have as a journalist of course as a journalist,
of course, because you know, I'm really really smart whether it
was a sawed
off shotgun because he apparently turned that weapon on
himself and you know, the long stalk of a shotgun it's very
difficult to turn a shotgun on yourself unless it's sawed off
with Kurt Cobain. Oh shoot himself with his with his toe.
It's hard it's very hard. You got to put it on the ground you
know, oh, it's
so difficult to put on the ground put your mouth over the
barrel and pull it trigger it but there was no shots hurt
blows the entire back of your head off, which makes a huge
more
than that. It does more than that. It's I think it can it
removes your head if you're doing that.
Yeah, probably wouldn't be wouldn't be pretty. No. So the
way this is make by the way, shotguns make an extremely loud
noise. Yes.
This the couple of other things that were interesting. The
Denver Post initially posted that he was the Arapaho shooter
was a quote very opinionated socialist. And they removed they
removed the word socialists from his description later on, then
there's a whole bunch of links about this. And in fact, is some
of his online postings his Facebook posts were quote, you
Republicans are so cute. posting an image that read the
Republican Party healthcare, let them die, climate change, let
them die. Gun violence, let them die women's rights, let them die
more war, let them die. Is this really the side you want to be
on? So of course, you know, this doesn't play well. You know, he
needs to be crazy, a crazy right winger in order to do this. They
had I think they had it right first a very opinionated
socialist, but they cut that out and removed it. But you can see
the differences online, all of that, of course, in the show
notes, then there's always people I find this interesting.
On Twitter, because Twitter is kind of the best place to find
any information these days if something happens in real time.
Two things I saw it as a common thread one. Don't announce his
name. Don't give him fame. Which I find to be you know, it's
like, like, that's what he wanted or something. It's like,
no, don't give it don't give that to him. i He's dead. Yeah,
I'm not quite sure why people say that. And the other thing,
which I got from several robots even, quote, what's going on in
that part of Colorado? And that, of course, is a very good
question. Because this is I've said
it on the show before the state is toxic.
Yeah, I think particularly that area is probably where they got
a lot of government families living.
Yeah, I would think it could be like there's something something
like Something's fishy. And they're doing constantly doing
these exercises,
whatever it is. A couple of other things I picked up. This
is something I've been wanting to discuss on the show actually,
I've been watching this Showtime series called Masters of Sex. I
don't know if you've heard we talked about that. It's kind of
a good show. It's
the I haven't talked about it. I have I find the show to be
tedious. I've yet to get through an episode. So
we kind of got into it. And so you know, it's like we might
have the last one is tonight so you might as well just finish it
out. But in the episode before last, and this plays out in the,
in the 50s, I guess, mid to late 50s, the hospital isn't a drill,
and it's the Civil Defence drill. And this is from the days
of duck and cover. And it's, it's interesting to watch,
because, you know, everyone has to put on the helmets. And they,
you know, they put the hospital on emergency power for seven or
eight hours. And then you know, and they have, it's basically
crisis actors, and exactly what is happening today. And when and
when you see what's going on, it's kind of the same
terrorization of the United States, Human Resources has been
going on for 60 years now. And then it was, oh, you're gonna
get killed by a nuke now is the terrorist. And then, you know,
for kids, you've got your school shooters, and it's even being
noticed by the mainstream schools have
developed protocols, and they actually trained in the drill on
what to do in situations like this. And teachers have been
told to get their students out of harm's way. And I know
parents who have talked to me personally about drills that
their kids have gone through at school, it used to be, you know,
back in the 50s, you would do a drills by hiding under the desk.
And now we do drills that, hopefully will get kids out of
harm's way out of the school and into a neighbouring property or
into an area within the school that they can be safe from harm,
or you certainly learn obedience. That is for sure. The
President was very clear about this being an issue no longer
for politics. This is where the narrative has changed a little
bit. And I think it's very clear what his what he's intending to
say. One is, it's no longer an issue of Washington, you have to
make the change. What he's saying is Women of the World
moms of the world, if you love your children, never ever ever
vote for the Republicans. Yes, that's, and it is an a very
clear war on crazy, which we'll get to right after this little
bit from the President's podcast.
And on this anniversary of a day, we will never forget.
That's the example we should continue to follow. Because we
haven't yet done enough to make our communities and our country
safer. We have to do more to keep dangerous people from
getting their hands on a gun so easily
dangerous people very open to interpretation,
we have to do more to heal troubled minds, the
war on troubled minds, you might have a troubled mind,
we have to do everything we can to protect our children from
harm course and make them feel loved and valued and cared for.
And as we do, we can't lose sight of the fact that real
change won't come from Washington. It'll come the way
it's always come from you
voting for I was gonna say from the intelligence community,
and the American people that would have been fun. As a
nation, we can't stop every act of violence. We can't heal every
troubled mind. But if we want to live in a country where we can
go to work, send our kids to school, and walk our streets
free from fear and retire with dignity. We have to keep trying,
okay? We have to keep caring. We have to treat every child like
they're ours, like the crazy like those in Sandy hooks.
Okay, live tweet every night. So within half an hour, Dr. Drew is
on he flips over from headline news to the main station, Dr.
Drew to the main stage. And here is the this is what's really
going on what he wants. And what then he pushed for this last
time he was allowed to talk about it. And we and we heard
about we heard him from his own his podcast, where you use the F
word he dropped some F bombs about as a doctor. And of
course, you know what kind of doctor he is is is debatable.
He's a drug pusher but as a doctor, you should be able to
break the doctor patient confidentiality pact. If you
feel that they're dangerous or troubled, you randomly
shoots we think three other kids and then quickly shoots himself.
That is a very altered state for him to have been in to be that
violent. So we're going to hear more about I think the mental
state once again, of this young person.
That's the setup. This is what we're going to hear all about
the mental state. Now. Mind you, we really have no official
diagnosis as far as I'm concerned about Adam Lanza. But
I found no doctor's records or anything. It's just what we have
is hearsay that he had Aspergers and was troubled, but we don't
have any actual medical documentation but it's being
used as fact that he was nuts. So this is about nutso kids of
course we know if if the kids are nuts what's driving them
nuts is the drugs are on that or leave
a young girl at random shooting. Yeah, random shooting. I've had
peers that's a tear Everybody agitated state he walks in
brandishing a shotgun. That's not a kid who is sort of
diabolically planning something that is a kid who is in a state
that is altered and then quickly when he can't find the teacher
turns the gun on himself. There's more to be told here.
Yeah,
MK Ultra is one explanation. I'm still gonna, I'm gonna stick
with, with with crazy psychotropic drugs. I'm sure
this investigation is
only beginning. That's right. That's right, we may be able to
understand in terms of motivated gets better Shin about what it
is he had as a bone of contention with that teacher.
But that does not explain I don't care what is going on
between him and that teacher that does not explain the
magnitude of the alteration of his mental state, the magnitude
of the agitation a young person would have to manifest in order
to walk into his own high school. Imagine this now with a
concealed weapon brandishing a shotgun. He's
I mean, Doctor, this is half an hour after after this has
happened. He's already all he knows what's happened. It's a he
had Zoll fact this is what's going on. This is how it's going
down
and then randomly shooting peers and then quickly turning that
weapon on himself. That is not a kid in a normal mental state. In
my estimation, obviously, I'm speculating. But you got to
think about Manias, you got to think about drugs, you got to
think about
what kinds of drugs drew
there are sorts of disorders, all of which in which an
unregulated as state of agitation can manifest in a
young person. And again, what's going on in Colorado, I have a
concern that there may be difficulty in Colorado
intervening when there are the kinds of symptoms that suggest
somebody is in trouble. Ah, wait
a minute, there's problems in Colorado intervening when
symptoms arise, I
believe that's what we're gonna see an all Aurora, I'm
concerned. That's what we're gonna see here, that people
don't intervene with the same kind of intentionality that they
need to ISIS, I'm concerned in that state, in order to prevent
this sort of thing. Now, listen carefully, it's okay to help
someone, when they are about to move into a state where they can
hurt themselves and other people, you are helping them by
doing that no matter how much they dislike it. And I have of
concern that there might be a I don't know if it's a cultural
issue, a legal issue or a medical issue that is preventing
that from being carried out in that state.
I would say a combination of all three and legal will be at the
top of the list, because that's what he's advocating. And maybe
he's right, I haven't I who am I to judge what happened here? But
he
also coincidence, it comes out really, I don't think it plays
into the larger narrative. But I still think there is a smaller
narrative to go after Colorado for passing that marijuana law.
Oh, that could be that could so you want to focus on that. And
then you can you know, well, you know, if it wasn't for that, you
know, these kids is powerful drugs. It's not the kind of
marijuana we smoked bill when I was a kid. That's powerful. Now
you very powerfully you
think it's going to be Oh, I thought it was just gonna be
purely mental state just crazy. And we need to incarcerate
crazy, crazy people, we need to keep them away from guns. We
have to separate them from their families, if the family has
firearms. That's what I'm thinking,
I think is an ongoing thing. I've seen that all over the
country. Yeah. But I'm, I'm telling you, this marijuana
thing really pisses off the justice department in
particular. Right. And that would include the FBI, that they
they brazenly and aggressively put marijuana in the middle of
the country. legalised marijuana. Yeah, as opposed to
the West Coast. You know, where you can kind of marginalise Oh,
those guys are crazy out there. Right. But maybe worse of
Illinois, legalised it they wouldn't know what to do but
anyway, I just think it's an element to consider it's there's
no mention of it or anything like that. And but it's just
something to think about right?
Well, it's possible it's possible. Anyway, so sad.
Whatever happened we still don't really know exactly what
happened that's very irritating. The drill was planned in the
exact same county and the exact same day at a high school very
irritating that these things happen. You know, and and for
everything we have, where the so called victim who was shot was
first a 15 year old and it was a 17 year old and immediately the
sheriff was showing a picture which also felt a little weird
and a statement and everything. So either a very well executed
drill, which is possible. I wonder if we'll see any pictures
of any any bodies being there should be at least one body they
can take out of there. And I've seen no video nothing. But I
don't want to downplay because it makes no sense to have these
two things happen on the same day. That's for Sure,
I could. No coincidence. I mean, there are things that happen in
a coincidental manner. But sure, it seems to me that there's a
lot of this seems like a drill and, and the other one, of
course of which taught me just a classic. I mean, I'm glad to see
the FBI is back to this because this has always been a high
moment of entertainment from the no agenda show, which is find
the dumb guy and talk him into doing some and then arrest him
before his horrible situation where they were doing some busts
up and it was Minnesota, Wisconsin, we didn't do the
story. But they found some some guy who literally was, I don't
know, he was, I wouldn't say mentally disabled and mentally
challenged, the guy was just had a really low IQ, and they had
him. They talked him into helping them find some illegal
gun sales. If this was an ATM.
Was this the guy they tattooed himself?
I don't remember him tattooing himself in the story. But all I
know is that in the end of the day, when they started when they
when they busted the wrong gun shop, and wrecked the guy's
business and put him out of business, and he's bitching and
moaning. They ended up arresting this poor, this poor mentally
challenged guy as some sort of a king pin. Yeah, I mean, this
government is just horrible. This
happens. This happening this, this happened a second time.
Just I was reading about it. But it was so complicated. And I had
to you know, there was no clips or anything, I couldn't really
dress it up. But it referred back to what you're talking
about. Recently, they got two guys, a certified
digital was challenged,
mentally challenged, challenged. They wanted them to, I guess ATF
B, I'm not sure and II whatever they wanted these guys to, you
know, to help in the sting operation. They even went so far
as to get gang tattoos on their neck for any any of the FBI pay
them 150 bucks or ATF FBI to do that. And so that they could
then get some drug dealers or something. It's it's, it's this
is what happens when you have just too much too many people
running around trying to justify their jobs. I've had big
companies, I've run big companies, this what happens? We
even in, in, you know, company with 700 people is not the
government. But you have people who float under the radar for
years. Sometimes it'd be like, what does that guy do? Nothing.
I don't know, I just need to stop or we wouldn't he wouldn't
be working here. They
made something up. You know, they've made up some great. It's
a one time in New York. So we had a thinking idea. 700 people
around the country, 110 of them in New York, and we had a theft
problem. And laptops were walking out the door. And this
is 98 or 99 or something. And, you know, at this point, we had
an HR department, this is how it starts. We had an HR, of course,
an HR department. So I couldn't just go around, say, Hey, show
me your bag. Did you steal a laptop, which was kind of my
idea. And so HR had to call in a security firm. And they had they
put in pinhole cameras and and, you know, checking the logs on
the I felt dirty just from what was going on checking the logs
on everything. And I don't even know if we if we ever figured
out who was doing it. But I do know that after six months,
there was a bill for $100,000 for some jackass security
company who would put a couple of cameras and pinhole cameras
in the office. It costs more than the laughs Exactly. And you
know, and and HR had signed off on it, because that's how it
works. That is exactly what goes on in government, when you have
just waste just wasteful stuff.
Yeah, well, that's absolutely the case. i There's a lot of
that going on.
Just one last note I had and I didn't clip it. But did you see
the second press conference that the bonehead Sheriff did?
No, I saw that I had to one and I think I saw parts of it where
he does this the one where he's where there's a Yeah, I think I
saw
a question. And someone said and he's answering questions really
wrapped, you know, he's doing his thing. And someone says,
Well, did he have a car? And then he could see he was thrown
by this? He went if you had a car you can bet we're checking
it right now. Whoa. I have to I'll have to find that that
question and that answer because it
was it was it was we make stuff up that's what bugs me about
this Gera Yeah,
it was That was weird.
You know, he's like one of these guys who just and he just likes
to hear himself talk and he makes stuff up and and that's a
good example. It's like it goes essentially, it reminds me of
you know, the my often feared pathological liar who gets into
your life somehow the next thing you know you're believing is
bullcrap. And you just another idiot I'm always on the lookout
for these guys.
Alright, so we reset the cycle when it when we do
look at the calendar, let's take a look. Because I haven't made
this official yet with the actual date, I will I did put
something up on Twitter and someone said that was seven
weeks. So if we take, let's start today, the 13th, because
this is kind of wrapping so is the 15th, the 15th. I mean, the
22nd. That'd be one week, two weeks would be the 29th. And
then let me go to the next 29th is second week, the third week
begins. On the fifth. The fourth week begins on the 12th. The
fifth week begins in the 19th. And the sixth week begins on the
26th. So it should be the week could be anywhere from the 23rd
to the 28th of January. Now my thinking still is that it's kind
of a halfway through the month and then a month and halfway
through, which puts it closer to the first. But we'll make it
exactly six weeks from the incident which puts it around.
It looks like the 26th 27 Okay.
It's not Yeah. All right. We'll see. We'll see what happens.
Yeah, into January, whatever that sounds about right. And a
January be another episode won't be anything through Christmas.
We don't need that. You know, the holidays already bad enough.
We don't want to hurt retail sales,
which I learned they have less shopping days between Black
Friday and Christmas than normal
this year. That's because Thanksgiving came so late in the
month, right 28th year this Thanksgiving is usually like the
24th.
And I understand from my canary in the coal mine, Ms. Mickey.
Then on NPR, there was actual discussions about changing the
name of Black Friday because of its racial overtones.
No.
I know. It's it's sad.
It's just like Eric good the shield's complaint about
apparently Amazon. Yeah, let him sell the slave t shirt through
Amazon because it's offensive. And
yes. So what Eric So by the way, store.no agenda nation.com is
back open now. And he has lots of swag for sale. And I read
through the message he got and so they will not allow the allow
him to sell it. But he can't have a listing with the word
slave. And it was this is very interesting. Because you know
that this, there's not someone sitting there checking his store
entry. This is automatic. And this is how words get changed
into something really annoying and how words get hijacked?
Yeah, this is hijacking the word slave to mean. It historically,
slave has taken on a number of different meanings and there's a
thing called a wage slave. But for some reason and do I don't
know who started it. But slave now, supposedly that to us, but
to the public. They're going to try to make this it only refers
to Black slavery. Yes. From the 1700s through 1865 1866.
No area no other slave whatsoever. I have two clips to
go along with this annoyance. One is from Arsenio Hall,
Arsenio Hall, had a talk show in the 90s, which was very
successful. And was it the 80s? No, it was 90s. And maybe a
little bit of the 80s. And into the 80s, or the 90s. i He's
basically Eddie Murphy's friend and was in some Eddie Murphy
movies. And then he quit. And I don't know. But he stopped. He
was done and he wanted to go away for a while, whatever
happened. And he recently was talking about, I think, probably
about Kanye West, and about the slave word. And he's very clear
and very all in on the word slave can only mean one thing.
You can't use this word slave because it only means one thing,
you know. So the bottom line is some sometimes, I don't like to
be put in those conversations because there's no struggle
here.
Oh, I think what happened is someone said maybe Kanye West
said that
Kanye West was bitching about Yes. And then he cited our
syneos Part of the problem. He
said that Arsenio was a was a slave to the white man. And they
got him and kicked him off his TV show.
My struggle was in the ghetto of Cleveland. There's no struggle
now. You know, and nothing about anything I do. Or he does. You
know, I hate the word slave used in songs.
The guy to hear, you know, look at here. What is that accent?
Exactly what that's not ghetto. That's what it gets scared here.
What is that? Is that
some area of Los Angeles? Yeah, that's
like a Hollywood thing is lame. Arsenio Do you know what
that word is? Do you know what that word is all about?
Yeah. Yeah, it's mean slave, someone who's subservient to a
master, but I guess it means only one thing. Nobody can use
slave and pop culture. Oh, we can't have it on a T. Foo. Yes.
As our CTO,
if you're in the music business, you shouldn't put that word. too
serious and error. too serious a problem in America. Using the
word slave and pop costing, there's no one that's free to
move around this country that should use the word slave. Do
you know what it meant to slaves?
Yeah, slaves in Egypt are the slaves that we are to the
government.
The s&m community let's talk about that for a minute. They
react to this I hadn't even considered that this is an
upgrade to look at the word slave that is defined by the
computer slave now historical the person who was the legal
property of another and who's forced to obey them. Yes,
vassal, serf, Thrall and I never heard that one. But the serfs
verb work excessively hard after slaving away after 14 years all
he gets his $2,000 synonyms for toil labourer grind away sweat
work one's finger to the bone work like a Trojan dog. Now it's
this is so why is this word being stolen? And you know, used
to only refer to one specific thing and who's doing it
maybe instead of complaining we should steal a word ourselves.
You know, I've thought about this. What word could we use?
Well, we've stolen in the morning we have douche
bag. I mean, it's it. We don't. We don't literally mean a bag
that you that not a vaginal douche vessel. I mean, we don't
mean that. So we in a way we're complicit in stealing words. And
by the way, but the vaginal feminine hygiene community is
outraged. There was another little fake controversy between
Fox and CNBC. About I guess Megyn Kelly said that Santa was
white and Jesus was white and some some blogger I think it's
an MSNBC properly. I could be wrong. As woman wrote about how
Santa should be a penguin. I mean, this is the idiocy that is
news in America. But then she went on MSNBC with who's the guy
with the glasses, the kind of mousy looking guy.
Yeah, that guy. Yeah, the guy who took over from Yeah, that
guy, what's his name show?
And he and since we track this on the show, I just, you know,
it's always fun when you actually know something about
something. And then you hear it in the news and that discredits
the entire news broadcast.
Santa Claus is not real. He is as I think making or Monica
Crowley noted in her in the segment. He is based on St.
Nicholas who was a European Saint figure historical figure,
but that Santa Santa now looks nothing like that standardised.
We've completely kind of changed the way
to be clear there is no historical Santa Claus Right?
Like we have a figure there was a Saint Nicholas figure that
traditions around the St. Nicholas Christmas celebration,
the depictions of St. Nicholas who traditionally is a very
skinny figure in Amsterdam, and there's a tradition in which he
is accompanied by as David Sedaris once famously said in a
very funny routine six to eight black men who may or may not be
slaves, this is a real thing look up I'm not making this up.
Oh, look it up. Not making it up. Kind of glossing over the
facts there, buddy. And this is how this is how it operates.
This
is how these guys operate. Just throw out a bunch of bullcrap.
And then but there's lots of posts on it that nobody's ever
going to look anything up. No,
of course not.
No one No the Megyn Kelly thing she was on talking about it and
it seemed like one of these kind of nutty in fact the first thing
I thought was Black Pete when this whole thing started to a
route you're
an educated man you listen to the no agenda show best pie do
universe so this is this is why you take part you think further
than this bullcrap.
But it's the whole thing was just bogus anyway, and it was
just a new cycle was slow, they've garbage aren't gonna
deconstruct any of these events that we're doing and then they'd
rather talk about Megyn Kelly she's kind of pretty and she
needs more publicity first show so there Yeah. And then
I saw last night it's like there. It was all about the
snowstorm on the East Coast. It was done. Over cycle complete.
Reset it boys. See at the end of January.
We will be back with more the end of January. Your FBI
dear Adam and John, would you mind if I started up furries for
no agenda. Some of us furries are big fans of the show and I
think you need to get the furry community in as well. You're
losing a big demographic, but I'm not sure how we're losing a
big demographic. But let's have a quick meeting here. I'm all
for a John furies for no agenda sounds like a good group to me.
You know I've never found the furries to be that offensive. No
I do get into you know, JC and his wife Oh,
hello Jesse.
They went to Evergreen University up and there's a
bunch of furries there and when I went to the his JCS graduation
is it a bunch? Is it a flock? Is it a what if furries are
together is that a herd? Thanks for
that. So the so the furries dress up as furries at the
graduation because you can wear whatever you want. Some, you
know a couple of the girls are dressed up as hookers. Not the
furry girls but the regular girls talks and some people just
wanted to do jeans I mean it was weird to watch this this event
read the furries were all in force in their costumes.
And we have we have furry races here in Austin. They do they do
half marathons dressed Yes, it's tough man. It's that's no joke.
So anyway, so I I comment on this one. So I said well, you
know the furries I just I've always under the impression it
to furries get dressed up as gophers or hamsters or whatever
they want to be. And then they have sex in these costumes as
these animals
well, we've got we've been through this that's not entirely
true. No, I was
called out on it by the two of them. No, those costumes are too
expensive. Apparently these costumes cost so much money some
of these furry costumes that they're they can't they would
never have sex in one mo does it make a mess in this cleaning
bills and every cleaning bill unbelievable. But it's
it is a role playing thing and I'm all for it. I don't get I
don't even I think just looking for promotion. Even by saying
this. I don't even know
why I brought it up. Other than more than their share of
promotion. All right,
exactly. Well, John, regardless of furries tuning in or not, and
whether they're a flock or herd, thank you for your courage and
in the morning to you John C. Dvorak,
Linda morning, do you Adam curry in the morning and all ships at
sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and
all the dams and nights out there?
I got to filter that to make it sound more like 1930s.
Carl, Carl, what's the guy's name? I can't remember his name,
but they're trying to be that guy. I'm gonna try to work on
his choice.
Hey, in the morning to all of the human resources in the chat
room. No agenda stream.com. No agenda. chat.net. Good to see
you all. Thank you for checking in. To keep it keeping us
honest. Thank you to our artists Martin. JJ had to artwork for
episode 573. Martin JJ on a tear. Just on a tear. He
submitted five pieces. It was hard to choose which Martin JJ
would win is nuts.
You better step up. I want to mention something to all the
striving artists. Martin JJ we were when he started showing up
and hitting homeruns. You know, like as you came out of the
minors, we look back and he had actually been submitting for a
couple of years. Yeah, and never got picked for
anything. And all sudden he just he just hit it. He just he just
got
it's just what happens. You get it you know you do it, you do
it. You finally you Oh, they'd like that. Well, that's
interesting. And then use your mind your brain actually changes
functionally, to make you better. So it's also
we see a lot of people who tried to guess what we're going to
talk about, and create beautiful artwork that is completely
irrelevant to that episode. And it's sad because being a no
agenda album artist, it's like being a bull, an animal balloon
artist. You know, it's like, okay, what? And there's your
draft. That's how it goes. Oh, and I have figured out thank
you. I forgot who it was on the tweeters who helped me figure
out how to get the album art displaying in the new iOS seven
podcast app, which apparently broke the the art displaying so
we have the art displaying again, which is nice, because
when you play it in the podcast app, and a lot of people have
dog catcher or downcast or other things which works just fine.
It's nice when you can you can see the you can see the art it's
like fun as opposed to the piece of art that we did six years
ago.
Do you know what why don't you I need it has to be 1400 by 1400
pixels. If you send me if you choose a new piece, I can have
them change it out for us. But it has to be really big it has
to be 1400 by 1400.
The do something simple do we there's a couple that will scale
up easy.
Okay for all the correctness that we that we have brought to
you for all of the accurate predictions for all of the work
that goes into the programme.
No, I I've always had this happen before the last time the
six week cycle struck with the LAX shooting. donations went
down. Yeah. And today so there's a double thing going out to six
week cycle. One is we get less money. Yeah, we have three
executive producers nobody giving associate associate
associated there all sorts but there's hype. The hype was
falling off the cliff. The hype theatre is Eric m out of
Cincinnati, Ohio $250.02. And then not only does he he'll get
The Executive Producer ship for that but now that not only does
he come in with the you know is reasonable amount for an
associate, but he comes in with insulting note which I'll read.
Really he's donated and insulted us.
Yes of course. Well shitbags
starting Well,
it's finally happened I negated my last three monthly payments
of 8334 for this one big drop so I grabbed myself a producer
credit and got lucky by the way got executive producer, as well
as his knighthood I was a boner for the entire year of 2012
until the episode right before Adam left to give a talk at
South by Southwest in which you rage quit the show due to poor
donations and lack of value for value. I've never heard a grown
man whine and bitch, like a 16 year old valley girl of that
great extent in my life. By the way, you work on your sentence
structures there, Eric. I couldn't stop laughing and
decided then that then in there that the year 2013 I'd become a
knight, so no shitty jingles just bring on the hookers and
blow. I only asked that. I'd be knighted sir Eric M the asshole.
Try not to get crabs.
Well, that's not too bad. First of all, he's not he's he's only
bitching at me. Which is why I'm sure you take great pride in
reading this note. Well, I don't have to read these things. Well,
we do we read executive producer notes. Yes, we do.
Well, I don't Well, I think it was bad at the
time. It was bad at the time, and you should have been
whining. And I think
there was something that had to do with a chat room or
something. And
this was a wow, hey, hey, you know
what? Sometimes I got it is one emotion
like you're you're an honest person. You're a you're a real
no filters. And that's the only way the show works. No filters.
If I had to put on filters about stuff I couldn't talk about.
Which sometimes of course there are things I had to protect
people's jobs. And that's funny because we've got Hey, man, you
got a crypto so yeah, why do you have encrypted is a deal with
people get arrested to know to get fired, don't get them once
they get fired. Everyone wants to help me out with with, with
our deconstruction of events and how things take place. And we do
this show. We've got scientists we've got top notch aviators,
we've got chemists, we have law enforcement, all kinds of
intelligence. We have teachers, professors, we have postal
carriers, we've got every kind of occupation from around the
globe. We got farmers this it's it's you are part of a community
who sorry, have a community of extremely interesting people.
And we'd need this have more of you doing meetups by the way.
You'd be amazed how when you I mean I of course we did our Hot
Pockets tours, and you'd see these meetups and the people
that would come together it was yeah they want to talk to me I
want to talk to Mickey but wow that when these people talk to
each other it's mind boggling when they start to figure it out
you know who's we we had dinner we I don't know how to call them
Republic bots we didn't we didn't name we have some
tree jerk Republicans lunatic fringe they've always had been
given this you guys are always been given bad news lunatic
fringe what's the latest one they call?
These are friends right wing nut? Yeah, wing nuts. Yeah, so
the wing these are friends of mine wing nuts. These are
friends and we had Dennis the Democrats are the ones who dream
up all these horrible names. Yeah, I mean the Republicans
call them libs maybe you know or something they don't call them
wing. lunatics.
Here's a conversation so in Austin, if you're going to out
yourself as a Republican because when people don't anything a lot
of people don't think in terms of just what you know what is
constitutional or, or what would be right there. It's always
right left red, blue. So people have to label themselves as self
labelling but to come out with a self labelling as Republican and
Austin you do that very quietly you know you're not gonna in the
restaurant you're gonna go hey, screw this president these
democrats This is now what you're doing Austin to what
happened dinner. And it's it's six people and Mickey and I, and
then our two friends two couples. And, and it was weird
because all guys on one side and the girls on the other side was
very, not a nice configuration. I didn't like it at all. But so
the guy started talking and then the one the middle who's a
lawyer says he's actually my constitutional lawyer friend.
This is your 2012 was gonna go down as the pinnacle year was
the tipping point. So what are you talking about? Yeah, when
more people were on social handouts and government money,
then people were working. I go okay. And then the other guy
leans over and he's a true, true Texan. Been around been born and
raised owns restaurants, you know, Texan? What do you think?
Do you think the Republican Party you can come back in the
next election? And I'm like, No. Well, how about the big man? And
I had to think what the hell's he talking about? Who's the big
man? And I, Donovan. Oh, you mean chris Christie? Yeah, the
big man. I said, Now, Hillary Clinton is the best Republican
you're ever going to get. She's uniquely qualified to run the
Empire. And you know what? They both went Damn, there's
something there. Have you heard that? There's like, there's like
20 friends of the Clintons are dead. I said, Dude, you gotta go
back to Google. How about I put one in front of that? The
Clinton body count is 120 if Hillary doesn't get what she
wants, she shoots you in the face. Yeah, there's something to
that. So it's very interesting to see these very successful
grown up men. Republicans who are finally coming out because
they feel Adam probably not going to freak out on us. And
and they aren't good they understand that maybe Hillary is
the right choice. It's interesting.
was definitely the right choice for discussion on the show.
Hell, y'all I miss her so much. All right. Two more associated
Yeah,
that was that one yeah, I went off the right away. Whether
anyone gives or not we can keep the segment as long as possible.
That's what we did Chris spears and talking about Austin Texas.
That's where he's running came with tour. And $22.20 Hi Adam
and John Hope this value for value fit y'all Well, I want to
thank you for your courage Lord DeVore acts requests for
obedience would make my day you will obey you will obey you will
obey
if something obey ringtones this you will obey me you will.
What's kind of cool? Yeah, it's
not bad. Alexander. What do we have here? Sellers knee off
so Lesney off Selesnya off
obviously. He and he's in Espo Finland thank you from Finland
$21.40 may request some general purpose karma to be sent my way
thank you for your courage and keep up the good work.
Absolutely. Thank you
so much for Associate Producer ships you've got karma that is
appreciate that and nice to see these names on the list not
necessarily the recurring names we usually see
well I've been nice to see them to
fact evora.org/n A Alright
people definitely thinking about helping us out for a Thursday
show and you can always continue to propagate the formula our
formula
is this we go out we had people in the mouth
go off topic for one second. Sure. Now I want to play this
clip because this would be something you'll enjoy hearing
okay. And that oh without much comment, but there's little
tidbit in here I was watching the didn't get much out of this.
I was watching all the hearings with again you know you guys are
Alex. Yeah, I watched some of that. Yeah. And you know, we
could be doing better and then of course the apologist comes up
with Joe a play later guys that essentially check you know, it
doesn't everybody do this and would it be like disarming if we
stopped doing it? You know, that guy? We there's no good
questions. These guys are all terrible. But that Leigh Leigh
he was going on waxing about if J Edgar Hoover had this power
we'd all be, you know, in a gulag, and blah, blah, blah. But
he made this peculiar comment that I just thought you should
hear because it's just like, I've never heard of such a
thing.
I had a friend who died in the towers 911 I think about that
all the time. I think of my wife, who was a medical surgical
nurse at the hospital going there, though she had retired to
volunteer to help him wounded coming from the Pentagon and
told the warden the wounded, who is alive and walking or you're
dead. There's nothing in between.
I just thought that was a little odd. That is very odd. When do
you have a situation like that? Where you know, you're there's a
bunch of casualties and there's nobody there's nobody in
between? Nobody would have you know, a sprained ankle broken
leg or a successful gash, successful operation.
I'd say he's when when you have that. I was born in that
hospital.
Oh, really? Yeah. Interesting. Interesting. Indeed.
That's where they implanted the chip. My mom always is very fond
of telling me the story. But she said If your father was drunk,
it starts with your father was drunk and I'm about to give
labour and I'm hungry there's nothing to eat. I say go get
something to eat and he comes back hours later drunk with a
chilli from from a vending machine that's the that's how i
That's the that is the family I came into Yeah. And then my dad
always says I had an Austin Healey before you were born.
Austin Healey I had to drive around paper bags, so I wouldn't
scratch the bottom of my Austin Healey he had one of those
classic ones with a to Austin Haley to Cedar. Yeah, and you
came along and ruined that.
Son. why those things are hard to maintain with or without
kids.
You can't put a kid in the back there's no back seat. I would
have to be strapped no put they put me in
the boot. Do you have a second car? It's not unusual. No, I
don't think make the heli out when you feel like driving
around like
they were kids. They were like 23 when they had me kids 24 I
don't know. Kids.
So he blames you. Oh, yeah. As things are dangerous today
to this day. To this day, he blames me.
Well, you should buy him in Austin Healey find an old use
when they can't cause that much.
He has a scoot mobiel now this is a different kind of Austin
Healey and Austin healing.
I did have a family send a bill is sorry,
wasn't it? Just you know, sometimes people like a little
bit of the personal touch this tonight on 60 minutes
unprecedented access for CBS.
Who of course, of course, I have the teaser. I have the teaser.
I had the teaser to where's your teaser? We'll play your teaser.
But where does it say teaser? Or where is it?
What is it? Say it probably NSA teaser on 60 minutes. Wow, that
would be it. Okay.
It's the most secretive and controversial spy agency in the
world. So why did the NSA open its doors and speak to 60
minutes? Find out Sunday?
Whoa. Okay, I have a little more than that.
Okay, well, let me Okay, after you play your teaser, I have a
comment I have to make.
Okay. Rick legend is the man who was put in charge of the Snowden
leaked task force by General Keith Alexander, who heads the
NSA, the task force, his job is to try and prevent another leak
like this one from happening again. But they're also trying
to figure out how much damage the Snowden leaks have done, and
how much damage they still could do. Oh, Snowden, who is believed
to still have access to a million and a half classified
documents? He has not leaked.
This is new information. We don't know anything about a
million and
a half. It started with 50,000 If I'm not mistaken. No,
no, no. 50,000. What I've heard from Glenn Greenwald. 50,000 is
what the Times and The Guardian and The Post have. And they have
that horrible database, we have to try and search for keywords
because it's not just a bunch of documents you can look at which
I think is on purpose to make sure that even those 50,000
documents are slowed down. i My understanding is that Greenwald
has 10 times that. But this one and a half million I've This is
brand new information. They keep changing the number. Well, it's
important because this is about the amnesty
has been granted temporary asylum in Moscow, which leaves
the US with few options is already said, If I got amnesty,
I would come back. Given the potential damage to national
security, what would your thought on making a deal be?
So my personal view is yes, it's worth having a conversation
about I would need assurances that the remainder of the data
could be secured and my bar for those assurances would be very
high, it would be more than just an assertion on his part.
Now this is interesting, because in this 60 minutes, they're
going to set up the Pro and the con, the controversy with Kaiser
Alexandrou comes in a moment. What the guy is saying as well.
Yeah, if we can make sure that you know, there's basically
1,450,000 that have not been distributed yet and my bar will
be high that yeah, we'll give me an amnesty to get that back
which screws up a lot of things for a lot of people this I think
this is some kind of counter attack against the Omni dar nuco
Pierre Greenwald Poitras thing. And of course, we need to have
the Contra. The counterpoint which Kaiser Alexandria takes to
a whole new extreme
is that a unanimous feeling? It's not unanimous on wireless
among those who think making a deal is a bad idea is Legend's
boss, General Alexander.
So this guy is just he just he has no problem coming out saying
something that his boss doesn't agree with. Yeah, yeah, that's
not a setup people. That's how it always works in government.
This is analogous to a hostage taker taking 50 people hostage
shooting 10 and then say if you give me full amnesty, I'll let
the other 40 Go.
No, it's not. This is not what it's less than that and not at
all analogous to that. This is you just painted a picture for
you. Which
by the way I want to mention here this guy does more of these
crazy analogies. I have one after you're done. I'm done. I'm
done we can move on I made my well he's got this I'm trying to
think is either the Frank and ramble or CIO right before we
before we go there let me just say some about the teaser they
showing this inside they get the camera inside the NSA and
they're showing I'm gonna this is an ask Adam. Okay. So they
got the camera inside the anus has a bunch of people sitting in
a terminal and then there's some guy standing up talking to the
guy who's going to be the interviewer. They're wearing
camo
Okay, hold on a second. As Adam What's the question?
You're sitting at a terminal in Bethesda Maryland in this Bindus
block house wearing camo and the boss who's speaking is wearing
camo Why are you wearing camo we
are in an active war zone John this is what's active shooters
active work you have to be ready at the drop of a hat we could be
doing a drill and you want to look the part
when you go to work with hot and camo is that the deal? You gotta
wait I'm just as important as the guy fighting in Afghanistan
by the way this is as far as I'm concerned. demeaning. Yeah. The
boots on the ground that are actually out there having to
wear camo I agree there is sitting at a computer terminal.
Yeah. Wearing camo they
are cyber warriors. Yeah, it's ridiculous. I agree. It's you
don't even have to ask me is dumb. It's ridiculous. It's
insulting. It is it is the millio it's the culture of the
military. What it is.
So let's play the Franken ramble. And Alexander Frank.
Frank. Frank. Oh, no, no, here it is. Alexander makes no sense.
Now this is a guy that the apologist on this committee is
going on and saying how great it is. Now, I just pay very careful
attention to what Alexander says. And tell me if half of it
is just meaningless blather.
Other foreign sovereigns are doing very aggressive things in
this space to try to pull as much information as they can, as
well out of the cloud and out of the capacities of big data.
Okay, stop right there, that you could have used that in a sales
pitch for salesforce.com. That was a great line.
In the bread written down for this, this Yeah, good senator
in this space.
I would like to take that.
General I Senator, I have some some experience in that. My
opinion, none of them have the oversight by all three branches
like we do either their Parliament's Congress, their
courts and their administration.
Understood, but my point is, they are all out there doing it.
They do not are too well, of the ones who already capability, a
lot of the most powerful ones out there. That's right. And if
we were to pass a law that prevented our intelligence and
defence establishment from operating in that big data
atmosphere, we would be essentially unilaterally
disarming in an arena in which other governments are very
active. Is that true?
That's true. In fact, I think so leading the witness likened it
to because we have a powerful intel community or power for
Navy we would tell our submarines to surface in those
areas where people don't their subs aren't as good
the senators like oh, yeah, their subs are no good. What
I'm gonna hold back because you may have more that was very
close to Clip of the Day. That was so dumb. Yeah, in fact, with
the big data the subs have to surface because they're just not
as good. Hey, baby, I love you that my subsurface is not as
good. This is crazy. This is wasting time. Did they go back
and have a beer after this ago? Wow. Man, that was really funny.
You just like I used to do this with bloom?
No, wait, wait, wait, before you got the balloon story. It would
almost be like this. Okay, okay. 10 bucks. You can't slip in. You
can slip in anything. I bet you you cannot find a way to get the
word submarine. No, this is
this is what blew my head. And I'm talking with the first
company we had not this other one. And in a pitch and these
are early days of the Internet. If we could get in advanced
network analysis language, or the locally managed network
operating protocol, either one of those Was that was 10 bucks
and I would always do the advanced network analysis
language which I would just take hold me but the but Blum would
all he was able to do yes we have our locally managed network
operating protocol and and people just eat that shit up
good times
good says bullshitting the minions so you
have this Franken ramble clip which I just want to say right
now. Hey Friday the firewall says Franken Rambo. Like a
breakfast cereal. Franken ramble now with 13 essential vitamins.
Yeah, it is Franken is on him. He doesn't know what to do. He
sounds always sounds like he's happened to in the can anyway,
but he's is a ramble. Here it comes
not Americans. And I might look, my feeling is that the American
people are sceptical of executive power. That when there
is a lack of transparency, they tend to suspect that something
they tend to be very sceptical and ex suspect abuse. And part
of the reason to have transparency is for people to be
able to make their decisions based on some real information
about what whether or not this power is being abused or not.
Now I believe that you gentlemen have our national security
interest. That's your interest. That is your interest now,
that's
your job, idiot.
But I also believe that we you know, you keep saying there are
three there's oversight from all three branches of government.
We're one of the branches, we're doing the oversight, okay,
we're feeling it
my feeling in doing the oversight is that I would be
more comfortable and that the American people would be more
comfortable and feel that they can decide for themselves if
they knew how many Americans were being caught up in a
programme like seven or two that is designed by law not to target
Americans.
So I think is Senator absolutely but I would just put into this
that what we're gonna do is if asked to do that we're gonna
give you faithfully and truthfully that which we know.
Okay, yeah,
so blackmailing operation
he's new though they don't have a lot on him. They'll find it
though. Probably like water sports or something like that.
Franken seems like that kind of guy. Watersports guy. They'll
find it he'll he'll change his tune.
I think he's already changed his did his pretty soft. This was
soft. I don't see anybody with their hackles up on any of these
committees actually going after these guys. We've all gotten a
man but he got an anonymous email and look at this photo. We
got a oh, by the way, you want to hear a funny conversation?
Hey, by the way, it's your conversation played? Go on and
on. There it is.
It's clipped with a day here at the office.
We've been listening to this for a long time. Now what was that
you're going to ask us at this hearing? You know, it'd be a
great question
about the subs that will be lead me into the sub.
The Krypton release the pretty cool document which I put a copy
of it into the show notes 574 dot na show notes.com. It's
called Full disclosure, NSA GCHQ hacks. It's PDF. I'll read
through that. It's it's it's a lot about the UK. But I think it
applies to the US as well, about the routers and the backdoors
that are built into certainly the British Telecom routers. And
it's it's a it's a technical document. But it's
understandable. And they do go into depth if you really want to
replicate it, and how the how keys are stolen. The 3g 4g
mobile crisis, it's it's called Full Disclosure at NCSA GCHQ
sources and methods uncovered. Anyone who has who was
interested in this, you should definitely have a read technical
and there's challenges. If you want to challenge the technical
aspect, they're very open to that. So it's a good doc and I'm
not quite sure who authored this. But it was released
through crypto and the crypto Of course, the guys who originally
were with WikiLeaks, but left because they felt that WikiLeaks
was a CIA operation doll. And I like it what crypto does. So
it's a lot about British Telecom, but I think it applies
to a lot of the equipment being used in the United States as
well. And then that kind of stuff is good and just opting
out of things. Just opt out. I know it's my my weekly thing,
but you don't need it. You see what? Yahoo mail has been down
for what a week now?
I don't know this. Yeah.
Yeah, it's been down well, maybe three days. Yahoo Mail is
broken. Gmail is now from what I understand when you are
composing an email. So let's say I was using Gmail, which I don't
I have my own email. So
I use Gmail to send you the clips. I didn't have any
problems. It may
happen. What I've seen screenshots when you will
compose you compose it in Gmail itself. Yeah, okay. It might it
may say, you can send Adam curry $20 through Gmail.
Why would I want to do that? Well, I'll just say,
they're trying to be like PayPal, I guess they have
through the Gmail wallet system or whatever. And it'll pop up in
your compose window, it'll pop up and say, Would you like to
send Adam curry $20. So now they're spamming you while
you're in compose mode. And Gmail changed their the way
they're doing images to ensure that marketing companies can
track you, which is great for us for the newsletter. So now you
can no longer choose to not open images.
And I know track our listeners, we know you producers and
quite open that we that we had we through MailChimp, we can see
if someone opened it. Yes, we can. That's what I'm talking.
It's not tracking and see if you opened it, which by the way,
most of you don't
know people get on the mailing list. They just don't care. They
hate us. But you
see what's happened with Gmail, which is so called free service.
They're spamming you now to send money to your friends in your
compose window. There are a lot there's, I'm sure they're going
to sell access to eventually they'll sell it to marketers.
And so now images are loaded by default. And so that sends it
back. And now everyone knows if you'd loaded your image. They're
putting stuff like our newsletter into the promotions
tab, which they put ads at the top of the promotions tab. When
will you just get smart and opt out. And you don't have to build
your own email server, get a community server get find the
one kid on the block who's smart, and you all pay him, you
know three bucks, and he'll set it up and he'll run it. It's not
that hard. You have that essentially, you have a
community email server, the guy who does your email. Isn't he
kind of like a
sleazy commercial guide? CTY M e.com
Yeah, he's not so great on the branding, but he's a commercial
guy. And maybe not a branding genius. But yeah, there's not a
lot of people that have email through him. But you can you can
do this you can do this with a small group of people and
someone else can run the web server and you can do this you
don't have to and not everyone has to learn how to do it. You
don't need a phone
anyone Yeah, no, this is your your common complaint.
I mean, it's not a complaint it's it's slimy I
think it's fine. I don't think I don't walk around with a phone
all the time. So this does lead into something which brings me
to a point I want to make before you continue with this rant. So
I got this HTC One phone that I got from Leo which sucks which
totally blows because it did battery just drops dead and no I
mean just burn Yep, charge me so the battery is no good I mean
it's it's a fast discharge it's getting it gives me I got no I
took the sim out there's no sim because I don't have I gotta get
get the phone fixed. Yeah, so he has but without the sim it still
gets me news and weather. Yeah, through the Wi Fi. No, I get the
Wi Fi off. What I still get the temperature
does it have a sensor not how you can't do that has to do
that?
Well, I think it's the same feature that most of these
phones now have which is you can dial 911 emergency calls on all
phones with or without a SIM card. So this thing is in
contact and whatever the case was thing. So I think data is
still flying around without the SIM card. I believe that the
phone is still tracking you Oh,
yeah. No, I'm pretty sure that wow. I just have the iPod Touch
and I keep the Wi Fi off until I'm at a place where I want to
check something and I built up a nice little database of friends
houses and there's a couple of like house young we on Saturday
and and the rest of the time Guess what? I just don't I I'm
not disturbed. I don't watch anything or read anything. I
don't care. And I have a nice life. I talk with my wife in the
car. We listen to the wireless. We discuss things that we hear
on the wireless. We talk about friends and family and plans for
the future. But there is a mission and I
I think the by the way the truck. The FBI surveillance
truck will fell way down on the thing and licence connection. I
think it drove off.
But yeah, they they've got what they need to know. Yeah, this,
I've been tracking these guys@code.org for a while now
they came out with something new, which I think I understand
what it's about. It's definitely a part of Common Core because
all the all the usual suspects are involved. This is a new
campaign called Hour of Code. And this is you may not be able
to hear all the celebrities in this well, that you hear some
obvious ones. Gates, you'll hear Steve Jobs. They took a piece of
him from a long time ago, taking the dead man's words, way to go,
guys. They've got Zuckerberg in here. They've got Ashton
Kutcher. They've got Shakira. And they want Well, I'll tell
you what they want, and then we'll figure out what's going
on. But listen to this commercial.
Hi, I'm Leah. And I'm Tanya, and we're lucky enough to be
studying computer science. We think it's terrible that 90% of
schools don't teach it. We definitely didn't offer it at my
high school. So we're trying to make this video to show that
anybody can learn. We want to get 10 million students, do you
see our code, our of code, our code, our code, our code, our
code, our code? How do you get him to get to the sunflower, he
needs to do some actions. And then we'll run it and see what
happens.
I wrote this the code that you just very awesome, I thought
like coders like FBI Heckard symbols and stuff, a
little bit of problem solving a little bit of logic, it's like
instruction programming is a lot
easier today. It's don't just play on your phone programme.
Someone go
about getting a job, maybe take an online class, many classes at
community college get one of the best paying jobs in the world.
If medicines moving into the whole computer
age technology touches every part of our lives. If you can
create technology, you can change the world. So we're
excited that you are participating in today's Hour of
Code, we just added two lines of code.
Four lines, seven lines, five
lines 60 lines of code 99, lines, lines, 80 lines of code
75 lines of code doesn't matter how much work does the programme
Yako the hour
whether you're a young man or a young woman, whether you live in
a city or a rural area,
everybody in this country should learn how to programme a
computer
I just completed the code. It's actually really easy to learn.
Girls should learn this to
understand that language that's going to be to the future.
Anyone can work computer science,
you can learn to Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, all
y'all learn and give it a shot. They can tell me we can
spread it to Qatar.
So this is the Hour of Code promotion hour of code.com,
which leads to code.org.
I saw the short version of this. I didn't know what to make of
it. I did have not. I know it was the light that long for I
haven't heard that long version. That's yeah.
And you know, and when the President says, learn how to
programme your phone, Oh, okay. So what the code.org is an
advocacy advocacy group, and initially, I was like, wow, it
hurts me to say this, but I think this is kind of a good
idea. They want to get computer science on the curriculum,
which, of course as a part of Common Core, and, and these
companies, if you look at who about us comm code.org, you'll
see it's all basically all Silicon Valley. And then I
realised a couple things. This is weeding out. They want it in
schools to weed out the weak brothers and sisters who will
have no no prospect in what these people, these techno
scientists, nut jobs, and I'm gonna explain why I think that
in a moment where they have no use for so they need to know
early on, can you code and I want to end this is important.
Coding is yes, you can learn the logistics of coding. You can
learn to understand what it is writing code. It's like saying
everyone can be a poet. Everybody can be a writer. No,
everyone can write not everybody can be a writer. Everyone can
code. Not everyone can be a coder. It is as much an art form
as it is a science. And you can approach problems from many
different angles. And now it starts to make sense with how
many engineers like this common core math, because it's the
engineers that this schooling system which is funded by
Silicon Valley, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and others, it
is funded by them. They only want to weed out everyone else.
Who was not a coder? And it's a talent contest. It's like a
giant reality show. Only when you get voted off this island,
you go down the conveyor belt into the fast food business,
because you're just not going to be necessary anymore, according
to them. And I think it's very, very problematic what their true
mission is. I'm all for teaching people code. But I'm very
worried that with all these big data systems and tracking the
students progress, and they all you know, let's see how they're
doing. And the teacher has to feed it back and put it into a
chart. It's gonna be like, oh, yeah, Johnny likes kicking the
ball around and likes playing his guitar. And he likes
sculpting and woodwork. Yeah, I'm sorry, Johnny, do you could
just stay behind us, you're not going anywhere. And we'll give
all these other kids. We'll give them scholarships and
opportunities to code for us. And this is a problem because we
have gotten to this point in society where the politicians
are heralding scientists and rich Silicon Valley people like
Bill Gates as the the knowledge as the true answer as always
correct. And they are not. And they are using scientists as
rock stars witness what took place just this weekend. Funded
by the same douchebags we now have. A we are literally making
scientists and coders and into rock stars. This is the new rock
star, and we're giving them the budgets and taking their
knowledge as if it is the prophecy because how can you
argue with the rich Bill Gates? How can you argue with the rich
Mark Zuckerberg,
they're rich, so clearly, they
must be right.
Mark Zuckerberg says the world's top scientists deserve fame and
fortune, gotten a taste of celebrity on Thursday night.
Breakthrough Awards. It's the sort of Oscars for scientists
and it's backed by the Facebook Mastermind. Along with google co
founder Sergey Brin, and some other notable names in tech
award Jack shared a $2 million prize pot, Dan Simon spoke to
Zuckerberg about his hopes for the project.
The big goal here is to treat and honour scientists in the way
that they should be recognised by society.
Mark Zuckerberg changed the world with Facebook. Now he
wants to change how the world looks at scientist to make them
more revered, like Hollywood celebrities. Do you think that's
an attainable goal to change the way people look at science?
Absolutely,
absolutely. I mean, it used to be the case back in Albert
Einstein's day that I mean, he really was viewed as, you know,
part of pop culture and a rock star in his time.
Is that true? was Albert Einstein viewed as a rock star
in pop culture in his time?
I don't know. I don't think so. I mean, we did see him crop up
in the survey that done at Princeton in 1939. Where a
Hitler Yeah, was the most important guy and Einstein was
second close second. No, it wasn't a close second at all.
I just I questioned this. I'm not going to take that as fact.
We have to research that but it goes on because waiting to find
out who's really behind this.
It's really a shame that we've lost that.
So with stars like Kevin Spacey is kind of great.
This guy, Kevin Spacey. Somehow he gets a pass on the technology
thing. You know, because I don't know he did a podcast with Jason
Calacanis. I don't know why. He's like some. He's like the
he's a Silicon Valley's darling, because he's kind of a name.
He'll act for money. He has no scruples don't give a shit what
he's doing. He's always Kevin Spacey. So cool. Let's play
poker with Kevin Spacey. It's cool to see the geeks and the
nerds get a really fantastic night
and Conan O'Brien
nerd seem to have the upper hand these days, don't they? When I
was a kid, it was jocks.
Zuckerberg helped organise an Oscars like award show, complete
with paparazzi and red carpet. Good evening, ladies and
gentlemen, to shine the spotlight on some of the world's
smartest people. Do you want this to be the most prestigious
prize in science?
I don't know if we think about it in those terms.
I love it. When someone asked Zuckerberg a question. Do you
want to do you want this? And he always answers with we. And I
wonder if he means the team or the royal we I'm afraid he
actually speaks about himself in the third person because he's a
dick like that people.
Do you want this to be the most prestigious prize in science?
I don't know if we think about it in those terms. But we
certainly want this to be both and hold on a second, we must
fart, full reward for the scientists and something that's
public so that way, it can be an aspirational goal to children
who are growing up and other folks who are thinking of going
into science.
The idea first came from this man, Russian billionaire and
technology investor, Yuri Milner.
I used to be a physicist long time ago, and I think that I'm
sort of had the idea to give back to the people that I belong
to on day two
to Silicon Valley friends, including Zuckerberg and google
co founder Sergey Brin to fund the event, each winner seven of
them at all, getting $3 million each, making it the most
lucrative award of its kind.
Yuri Milner is though he's the guy behind it. And he didn't
have to convince much. He's a huge investor in Facebook,
Zynga, Twitter, Spotify 23 and me. Group on Alibaba, Google.
This is he's didn't have to convince March. He's like, Hey,
you will do this. And I give money to winners?
Well, he didn't give any money. Apparently.
There's the three build $3 million per winner.
No, no, that came from Zuckerberg in the other guys.
Don't
you know what I mean? Yeah,
well, sure. I mean, I'd love to give away money if it was
somebody else's money.
This is not a good policy. This is not this makes no sense.
We're forcing it on people. This idea that politicians are all in
on this. And this is how you wind up with common core. This
is how you wind up with the PBS NewsHour changing. This is how
you wind up with vaccines being tested on black children in
Africa. Not even the white ones.
Well, let's go look at this for a second. First of all, there's
plenty of awards for scientists, I would say the Nobel prize
being one of them. That is a big event that celebrates you know,
science, but it's usually accomplished science. Yeah, not
some buddy working,
not just money, like I got a lot of money.
And then there's the MacArthur Foundation grants, which are the
genius grants, which go to mostly scientists and people
working on some good. That's the working on group. In other
words, somebody like Laura Poitras, yeah, loyal portraits,
they say, Well, you know, she makes these little films, and
she's going to starve to death without our money. Okay, well,
let's give her some money, or know where they get a memo from
the CIA saying, Hey, here's the list that you want. We want you
to give money to we don't know, or the big secret
or the FSB? I mean, this is the Russians determining who gets
who wins this,
we have no idea because it's a secret. So they have these
events, and they give a bunch of money away, this is probably
definitely worth following.
Well, I'm just seeing so much of it. And I'm seeing this weeding
out. If you can't code you're going to be no good. You're
going to be an invalid.
And valid human. Yeah.
It all has to be about science, technology, engineering and
math. Yeah, sure. But we want to have a fully rounded society,
you need some of these other things and other people and
other skills.
Well, the joke of it is the interest in science and
engineering or as they like to say stem stem. So the stem
interest is really waning in this country. There is no,
there's no appeal, that if they think that they're going to, we
don't I don't even know who these people are. So they're
gonna give one of the awards to like neurobiologist, Cornelia.
bargeman or Bergman Bargmann like it what is Bargmann
geneticist Hans clevers, molecular biologist, and you
need Napoleon Ferrara, right? This guy's not don't have T.
Ferrara with you here top of the hour How you doing?
Buddy hands Cravers
these people these these. This is not the way you do peer
pressure to get the public to get interested in STEM or
anything else. This is just a stupid giving away. This is
mostly for them. Zuckerberg gets to be on stage. So whenever
invites him to do anything, and ever since that movie where he
was, you know, played by somebody else and he kind of did
Saturday Night Live. He got the bug. He wants to be in show.
That's right. He wants to be I'm sorry. They all want to be in
showbusiness.
So let me put get me up on the stage. I'll fly it out. Words
that that a peon? I can't wait stage.
I can't wait until he gets wrapped up in it. And then he
you know, because of course these guys get all wrapped up
and then before you know it, you know there's a picture of him
getting boned by a tranny, snorting coke. This is what
always happens. I can't wait.
You NSA.
I can't wait. Hey, while we're on that topic.
I'm going to show my move by Joanie to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun.
tall, tall order I hope you're prepared. That is hardly anybody
on this list.
Hello. Well, you had a whole bunch of Make It rains make I
have
an announcement to make. Oh, so I hate using the word so too
much. I haven't got through I am not on my regular machine. I am
on the writing machine and I've got it hooked up. So it's a
direct connection to the internet but but all my
everything is over in the other work area of this office. I
cannot do the Make it rain. In segment today, I will move it
all with the same name. The Thursday show.
The mean is what is your stuff on the on the Broken hard drive
or is it printed on?
It's on the other machine? No. And the other machine is the
artist service. So I will have to put this off until Thursday
where I guarantee that everybody who's requested it the
additional names that came up today. I think there's one two
will all be done on Thursday including Kimberly and all the
other people we have made him come on stage next Thursday and
the next Thursday show Okay, as best I can do, but meanwhile we
do have a few people thank Alan Kay Vito, the third in
Midlothian Virginie, who came in with a nice 12345 agonise told
myself, I was not going to donate more than once a year to
you guys. But the stories and info you produce are so good. So
insightful. And so well researched, that I cannot help
but donate a second time. There you go. Keep up the good work.
Happy Christmas.
Thank you very much. Well, that that warms me. Because that's
why we do it. This is a value for value proposition. You get
some value you sit there you go, Hey, that was valuable.
It's an interesting one from Simon read out of New York City.
$220 $21.20. He wants to Lake congratulations to Eric. What he
really means is Jason has killed Jr. and Ken he wants some
engagement. Carmen says he took John's lead on anniversaries
which in other words, you've got to do something on a Memorable
Date. Right? Otherwise you're gonna forget and the women get
mad. And pop the question on 1212
doll. Oh, here is
some engagement karma for you got karma. And of course, that's
why he did 1212 Zero golf 12 00
Right. Right. Andrew Walker and Cranberry Township,
Pennsylvania. 111 Dodge lovers sisters. I think you sent an
email in with it with somebody wanted to make it rain for and
I'll have to go dig that up. And we'll do that. Again. Like I
said on Thursday, Patrick,
if you don't do these on Thursday, I'm gonna stop the
show.
Okay, I don't worry. I'll do it. No problem. Patrick heard it.
This is a bit extreme. weird circumstances the problem? Yeah.
Patrick occur. Dang. Yeah. $111 And he says in Luxembourg. Adam,
even though you don't like Leo Theodore very much. It is thanks
to his show. What's he talking about? I don't
know what to who was he talking about Leo Theodore?
I don't know. Apparently you don't like him? He got hooked on
no agenda. Thanks to that guy. Is that Well, to be completely
honest, John, it is your personality that got to me
really? It's a blast to hear you talk. You're so genuine. John.
No BS. I love you, John.
He wants Leo Laporte on stage. I think he's talking about Leo.
Leo, Theodore. Maybe?
Maybe. Oh, his middle name is Theodore.
I don't know. Leo. Laporte. Baga Ranfurly. Okay, we'll put you on
the list. Yeah,
well and Leo will be in the other guy. There's
two men now in this this is a crazy club.
I think we should have Who's the other guy who's on on the video
with Leo with the other guy.
Okay to do a sex act.
It's a it's a show the double show a
doubleheader Eric calibrator 100 bucks South Ogden, Utah. Cutting
edge solutions in Scotland. Glasgow does matter of fact $100
that Andrew green $100 from London England lot of this is
nice. We'd like to see this is fantastic. I love it very stone
and stove Vermont. He did send a note I do have it here
handwritten long hands on the back of a natural local green
grass fed beef operation in East Montpellier Vermont that sells a
lot of nice Mian chips some beef my way, John. So I have tried a
few times over the past month to compose a letter to accompany
this donation here it is run with one request please disable
Freddie the firewall Murray Wow. That's harsh. That was it. All
right. I'm not gonna lie to you wrote down on a piece of paper
and sent it in so Valley feels Sammlung me and Toronto, Ontario
ADA ADA saw Sean coffee in Annandale New South Wales AD AD
which is nice. Double sevens from Bryan curry and canal
British Columbia. Hope it's pronounced canal it should be
could be quizzical. It's next to spasm. Jeffery long 75 bucks in
Christ new Nebraska.
69 6960 Niners
as we'll see Do you Lola in Providence, Rhode Island,
Patrick Soos in Windsor Victoria, Australia. That's it.
And that's that done. Philip Mason in Welshpool, Powys 6667
had an email from him on.
Yeah, I think we did get an email from him. I remember I
remember seeing it upgraded to Baron or something.
I think he he's Baronet. But he wants Yeah, it is. But you don't
get it you don't get a protectorate with Baronet. He
says do John Adam Please find my attached knighthood accounting?
They I believe I have achieved Baronet. And yes, please refer
to me henceforth as Sir Philip Neeson night sequestered Baronet
of powerhouse as I believe I'm the only night to ever get his
night could sequestered on the show. Did we sequester him?
I don't remember this. But I do like the name powe's. Yeah,
we'll give it to you and regardless, I just need to get
you we don't have any iPhones what
he is now you're good. You're good to go. Tyler Fox in
Flagstaff, Arizona. 55 bucks. Greg Stone double nickels on the
dime Rapid City, South Dakota, sir Jimmy, free hollow bucks.
Yay. Double nickels and dimes, Summerfield North Carolina. By
the way, I should mention Greg stones. Dakota bison
furniture.com is his dad's business. Dakota bison
furniture.com. I want to give it a plug because there's some
really nice looking stuff on there. Daniel Ostermeier So Long
Beach, California Dory and Karan knit ski, Rock Ridge,
Pennsylvania and 50 bucks each from Mike Westerfield, who's our
loyal listener. Brandon sev. Why?
That's a beautiful furniture. That's another American outfit
that makes stuff in America with American buffalo. Yeah, and
looks like American dudes putting it together. Yeah,
and finally, Jeremy Robins. 50 bucks. That's the end of our
list. Yeah, no, I looked at the furniture. It looks like really
high quality especially the leather stuff is dynamite. But
if you look on the sale page, you got a bunch of stuff on
sale. There's some nice wing backs and some other normal
looking very expensive. Yeah, cuz I'm
looking at products. I'm like, okay, that's nice. Not for Adam.
On sale. Okay. I see. It is nice. I liked the leather stuff
more the stuff on sale this
although the difference between the stuff on sale for 150 bucks
yeah, and a $3,000 leather couch. Yeah. Nice. Alright. Was
that it? That's all I gotta jeez.
I'm gonna see I got a couple questions. Hey, Adam and John.
Hello from the no agenda. playwrights living in New York
now and rockin memoir playwright. Living in New York
play right. We'll be sending you more cash in New Year towards my
knighthood. $5 a month just doesn't cut it. Meantime, I have
a serious question for you. When I send you more cash and become
a knight with my firstborn daughter be able to inherited
upon my demise. This apparently is a real issue now in the
United Kingdom's of Gitmo nation east where they are lobbying for
hereditary titles to be transferred to firstborn girls,
as well as the traditional firstborn boys. So in the no
agenda, a realm of peerage if if a knight meets his end, can his
title be passed on to his firstborn regardless of whether
either is a male or a female?
Ah, we will have to have a meeting about this.
Yes, yes, let's have a meet up
the peerage committee will meet and we'll discuss this it may
take a few months.
And then from Craig in North Dakota, I've been a 3333 bi
weekly donor for a few years now. So I'm always under the
donation announcement radar, but I just needed to thank you and
John for your media assassination analysis. I have
to admit this spot on six week cycle thing you got going on
fucking blew me away on Friday. When the Arapahoe Colorado
School shooting was in the news six weeks a day even on the
anniversary of the Sandy Hook mirage. Of course we believe the
FBI sting was more related to that. I'm seeing the media and
political world of lies and deception through the no agenda
rose coloured glasses. I am loving it. Thank you again. PS a
few years ago, I set up my online banking to automatically
send a check to no agenda every two weeks. I do not miss the
money because what I received from you both from the both of
you is priceless. I suggest all the listening douchebags do the
same can all the under $50 regular donors get a karma? And
that was a long way of saying yes of course here it is for
everybody. Thank you for your courage, God, karma and thank
you for your support of the best podcast in the universe. Even
though we're way short today.
I wouldn't want to read one more. Well, I should not miss I
have a letter from one of our donors about the Ukraine but
let's get this other stuff out of the way and we'll move it
into the segment
for rack.org/and a
happy birthday to Dave Tanya sorry that we missed that I
can't believe it I should be sending you love and kisses and
hugs. We'll do it as of this. congratulatory notice answer Ray
Jacobson congratulates his niece Katie. As she turns 21 Today
send pictures to your buddies here the best podcast in the
universe.
And while on the birthday note, I should mention that Dame Tanya
works at Corso in Berkeley, not Cosmo. Okay, somebody says
there's no place named Cosmo, because I guess he's gonna go
over there and say hello. We have a lot of nights
riding around trying to find Cosmo,
so it's core. So find out when she's working and go in there
and for some of these great little restaurant and tipper and
tip, a big tip or Big Dipper big
Tipper Gore. Let's pull out the blade here. Of course the Sir
Philip Neeson becomes the sequestered Baronet of powe's.
That is no there's no ceremony for that. But we do have. Let's
see, Eric. And we thank you, first of all, for your courage,
sir. And you didn't want much in the way of your rewards very
simple. So if you would, please come over here and kneel that we
can do the ceremony and hereby pronounce the syrup Eric and the
asshole night. Round Table for you, sir, we have one thing and
one thing only hookers and blow. And thank you for your courage.
Thank you for your support of the no agenda show best podcast
in the universe. Go to no agenda nation.com/rings fill out the
information to pick up your coveted night ring. And a
reminder that store.no agenda nation.com is open, which
includes those wonderful, hideously hilarious paintings of
John and myself. If she clay, if he sells more than three of
those, it'll be a miracle. Oh, my goodness, they are hideous.
Well, he's got a new gimmick coming up. I don't know if I
want to pre announce it. But don't don't give me the go ahead
when he feels like he's actually going to do it. Let's start with
a little Ukraine comment from the State Department. So we know
that you know, these guys are still in play with the US have a
What's the clip? It's a little Ukraine comment from the State
Department. Buddy at the state. Oh, little.
It's alphabetical. So you know, I'm looking under the L for
little but it's a little
Ukraine. Can you provide any greater clarity than Jen was
able to yesterday about the kinds of sanctions that you have
on the table?
No. Again, that's one tool in the toolbox that we are
considering. But I don't want to get farther down a path that
we're not, you know, haven't gone farther on. And I just
don't have any more details. But it's certainly something that's
on the table.
But also new threat. And this has happened just as you were
coming down, I think the EU has said it's going to help Ukraine
to obtain an IMF loan, which I think they believe would sweeten
the deal towards signing an Association Agreement with the
European Union. Where would the United States and United States
stand on that, given that the United States does have quite a
quite a lot of influence within the IMF?
And specifically on whether the EU know on whether they the
United States would support
the IMF providing this? Yeah. I don't know the answer to that.
I'm happy to check in with our folks and see where we would
stand on that issue. I just don't know
because that reporter not once but twice a united Stan. Instead
of United States. United may be united stand,
united stand. Of course. What's your name? This North girl
whatever her name is, and
then this one time at bandcamp?
She has no Exactly. She doesn't answer any questions at all. No,
I will get back. Yeah, get back. Yeah. So we do have we do have a
kind of a foot on the ground thing here. But
did you see the news from a new email coming in this morning?
Dorian kunitsky in Rock Ridge, Pennsylvania. I would just want
to read this note for background for the listeners. Thanks for
the great work is he he she I don't know. Could be either it's
one of those. It's a generic name. Note on the whole Ukraine
protests and Russia. I am a first generation Ukrainian in
America and went to the Ukrainian Saturday school. The
hatred for Russians was taught us often. I've been told and did
some of my own reading that the Russians took Ukraine's original
name Bruce stole their name. I'm not sure how actual that is. But
it's something we were taught for reasons to be a distrusting
etc. to the Russians years ago when I was in grade school. I
did a report on the Ukraine Spartan World War Two, the Nazis
overthrew the Ukrainian territory with little conflict,
because the Ukrainian people welcomed the Nazis, because
anything was better than the Russian. That's funny. So this
is the situation that we have to always know in the back of our
minds, when we see watch any of these events taking place in
Russia, including this ridiculous protest, which are
completely out of control. I was watching one of them that way
that is only rarely but once in a while to be good. And we had
video on the show, but so there's a big protest and the
cops, one group of police are beating the shit out of
everybody with billy clubs, just beaten and beaten them. Some guy
it was they're all running around with some guy fell. And
he just stayed down and He curled up into a ball on the
ground, and about six Russian cars, or Russian or Ukrainian
police, whatever they were security, were kicking him and
beating him and kicking them and beaten them. And then they ran
off to go beat somebody else. And another group came by and
started kicking him and beating the same guy. And then they ran
off and then a couple of other guys did drive by kicks, they
ran fast again kicked them just to kick him because he was down.
And then another group came and started beating the crap out of
it was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. It's their culture.
And that's how it rolls. It's astonishing astonishing.
The way I understand this, so there's definitely provocateurs
there's two groups as of this morning the deal seems to be on
hold the deal is not all that big The European Union is
offering less than less than a billion dollars instead that's
why I think
this IMF things in play, right so you know, in some games give
me a much money but we can give you this great alone in this
little this little goodie goodie
bag of stuff. I actually have a I do have a EURO NEWS piece on
this, which I thought was maybe worth listening to. I'm filing
this now under trans Eurasia. Because I'm pretty sure that
this is no it's all about how can you help us with this damn
train
Ukraine's capital split over the government and divided over
Europe 10s of 1000s of people have gathered in central Kyiv to
show support for President Viktor Yanukovych. Many of them
believe closer integration with the EU is a mistake. But really,
why don't I want the EU we won't be asked to join it for another
15 years. We won't get visas they'll simply push their goods
on us like Polish bacon which is much worse than Ukrainian one as
we all know so now
we know what it's really about. Is that we don't want the damn
Polish bacon
don't buy the Polish bacon
sounds horrible to say we can't let homosexual couples adopt our
children.
I now you're talking this is this is the talk of men.
This is a this is counterprogramming. I mean
obviously. Oh of course this is sound like an a racist idiot.
This isn't like the pole locks or gays. This
is propaganda
because the kids will turn out like their parents.
This is family. This is your own news. I can't believe they they
should have said this may be propaganda. This may be a
provocateur. No, we don't you know, take your polish bacon
your fags and get out of here. Stop that game.
less concerned about the dangers of
a closer relationship with Europe. Like them gays in the
bacon more worried about losing
out on ties with Russia. In the US. I'm stoked as a Christian.
Maybe we need to sign something with the EU says the job goods
go over there. The gas obviously, we can't lose out and
the train is with Russia because Russia Ukraine and Belarus are
part of a single family.
If they Edna, you may assume Yeah.
The Pro Jana COVID rally was held just a few 100 metres from
Independence Square
title for the show bacon and but boys is a new title pro EU
protesters have been demonstrating for weeks. They've
been calling for Yannick COVID His government to resign for
suspending talks on an EU trade pact last month. Some like this
man visited the rival protest are the last people watching
this show. We're inviting people to come to our site because
they're brainwashed they're being forced to think that we
are I don't know Nazis nationalists that will beat them
up and kill them
this cannot end well this this is not going to have a huge
bloodbath that literally on two sides of the street now it's not
like this you understand that? Security has been stepped up
amid fears of possible clashes between those who support the
government and those who want it to fall there you go
I think you're right this is not going to end and this is gonna
be a bloody it's gonna be a mess and it says you can see it I
mean, if you get to watch these foreign these, you know your own
news, fan cat, any of these guys who are actually covered this as
opposed to the United States. day's news operations that don't
cover anything that's International, even though they
call it world news.
Well, let's let's let's just stay with this for a moment
because I think a lot of this I'm shoehorning into my new
trans Eurasian rail theory. And we really it'd be great to have
the Ukraine China has now opened high speed rail talks with
Vienna before they're to take the rail from Vienna to the
Black Sea. And of course the Chinese are going to finance
that and then just to open now in Euro Lana directasia.
If a rail link between Paris and Barcelona begins today, the new
service will take six hours and 25 minutes. No changes needed at
the Border Station served along the route include Geodon and
forget us in Spain and perpend Yan norba and Montpellier name
and violence in France. Yeah,
that's going to be great for the freight
Yeah, well, they do they actually do have a lot of
passengers something you can take those trains I want to tell
people that
what Frenchman wants to go to Spain
to Barcelona now. Now it's for tourists. Like I've taken the
TGV up and down from Paris to
Bordeaux a couple of times yes, but not the not the barcelona
Barcelona Basha Okay,
I will take it but it's beside the point you're right. It's
mostly for and if you're on one of those things, you see nothing
but freight broker freight. Yeah. And let me just I just
want to tell people that I've never been on one of these
trains, especially the ones in the south of France from Paris
headed south that as opposed to the dollies and these things
that are up north that are clunking around you know,
regular tracks. is too boring is right to ever because the things
are in a pit. That is they drop them down into a pit so if you
look out you see nothing you don't get to see the French
countryside you don't get to see anything. It because it's kind
of quaint to take a regular train. It's a horrible ride.
Okay, not recommend it. I want to go to Barcelona take a plane.
While we are on the topic of propaganda, that EURO NEWS
report by the way is very propagandistic very
disappointing. That that is now you know, there, I always knew
they were compromised. But wow, to do that with the bacon, but
boys and everything that was out there is an outrage, not even
disclaim it. Meanwhile, a big problem back in the United
States, a fractious in the press room. And we identified this
taking place and now it's gotten to a head and there's a little
interesting gotcha at the end of this clip. The White House
themselves are releasing photographic material, and
they're doing that of events where they specifically keep the
press out. So on Air Force One when we had the Clintons, the
bushes and the Obamas, flying to Nelson Mandela's celebration of
selfie half of Congress, apparently,
a 30 I think 35 members of Congress, at least, the press
was not allowed to take any pictures. Even though they were
on the plane. The White House has their own photographer and
they release them on the internet. Yeah. Now this now,
photojournalism is incredibly important. Because a picture can
sometimes speak 1000 words, and you can also manipulate pictures
and stage them and do many things. And for the White House,
to not allow the press to take photos but release photos
themselves. That's kind of like I don't know, glide. Gubbels did
is kind of like Leni Riefenstahl. It's kind of
propagandistic by itself, and the press are mad about it. And
they were vocal and Carney put his foot in his mouth when they
brought this up in the in the press conference and at the end
we learned something interesting about the photo journalists
a lot of this that some of this anyway has to do with
fundamental transformations in the media that of which we and
other institutions are simply participants and but not we did
not create the internet this administration and
we didn't create the internet this administration did not
create we created everything else but this administration did
not create the Internet to we can just we're just going with
the flow
the internet had happened to do with it was
our problem is the access you can put out a million pictures a
day from White House photographer you bar
and what I'm saying that it is and what I'm saying is that
we're gonna work with we're gonna as as past press, White
Houses have done and we hold on John. So we purchased that
distinctive. Hey, guys, if you're telling me that on every
flight the President Bush took and every Friday President
Clinton Shut up. What I'm saying is, what I'm saying is, we hear
you and I want to address this and I want to work with the
photographers to improve that situation and see if we You can
be responsive to your concerns. All I'm noting in answer to
Michael's question is that this is part of a bigger
transformation that's happening out there that's driven by the
ability of everyone to post anything on the internet free of
charge so that you don't have to buy that newspaper, or subscribe
to that wire service.
He's actually threatening them here. I think he's really
threatening, like, hey, yeah, no, would you we don't need
people, people need to go to you anymore. We can go direct with
our propaganda
to see that photograph. And that's true. And it's true.
Nothing to do the nothing on Air Force One, we understand their
constraints in Africa on the ground. But the internet had
nothing to do on air for short, when you had a large group of
reporters in the pool photographers there as well, who
could have come up with the Sousa to the front of Air Force
One, and taken a couple of pages, maybe not as many as
pizzas. But we can post as many as
April, I hear you and I'm saying that those are the kinds of
issues we're gonna we're gonna address. And I want to work with
the Correspondents Association and and then and the
photographer's to see if we can be responsive in a way that
allows them more of the access that they seek, and, obviously
also allows us to operate the way every other White House
now that we're going to hear something very interesting.
We've always wondered about the clicks, the loud clicking of the
photographers, and what why, why is in this day and age that they
are clicking away.
Yeah, they're making a lot of racket when they could you can
make a camera virtually silent suffering.
When you started talking about this, they were letting you
know. Did you hear that? Oh, no, no, no. I mean, seriously, did
you hear their clicks while they were taking pictures of you
while you were speaking about this issue? Did you hear them
that was their form of saying we are here? I guess.
It's their form of let you know they're here. I guess they want
to be known that they're here. Hey, we're journalists to click
click click click that it was kind of interesting.
Like I have a noisy camera here. Let me see on this desk.
Now the best piece of propaganda which this was better, this was
better than we've even done it. And of course, completely
underreported because that's pretty good. Because there is no
actual footage. But okay, let's buy into it. I almost wet my
pants when I saw this report.
The rabbit has landed. called you to in Chinese or Jade
Rabbit. This was the moment the rover touchdown on board. Its
lander the Changa three Yeah. Did
you see all that dust that blew up from the animated thrust
rockets. Oh, I'm sorry. No, you didn't because there was no dust
blow up. This is at what point A we're gonna move beyond Blair
Witch Project and see how fake and phoney This is. This is so
stupid. Today, they rolled their rover off of its cart. One frame
every three seconds. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, it's from the moon.
We can't do full frame video because it's really from the
moon.
Arriving right on target in an area known as the Bay of
Rainbows, and watched live across China on TVs like the one
in a restaurant near workers stadium, Beijing. It marks
another milestone in the Chinese Space Programme, methodically
following in the footsteps of the Russian and American
exploits of years ago.
Now, I want them to roll that rover of theirs right past our
flag. So we can see it. This is so bogus if John even you have
to admit this is they leave it's so open. Again. We have a an
animation of how it's landing. And then we see something on the
ground all of a sudden, oh, we'll switch to this other
camera as we land because you can't actually see how we land.
Oh, yeah, we switched to the camera that shows the black sky.
I mean, come on. Are you buying this? You think they're really
on the moon? You
know, it's funny because I kind of just ignored the whole thing.
Well, why is that funny?
Because I didn't think that you'd get so worked up about it.
But when you look at it, it's just like that Mars rover. That
was all
over Twitter. Everyone's bitching and moaning about this
lousy video because it's fake. Very well might be why wouldn't
it be cheaper?
They got those new studios that built
you know the Chinese best price and they got the new studios
which I think is a real giveaway. Yeah,
they might as well use it. Okay, just a bit the it's like see you
see me video was better 20 years ago. Come on people. This is
real is getting installed.
Actually to be honest about it. The one I think it's The mistake
to go that way they should have done with extremely high
resolution. Yeah be the show off that their technical expertise
is so much better than anything anyone else is doing. But
instead they went with this cheap Yeah, like you said webcam
look, yeah. That is junky and it doesn't really doesn't serve the
party. Well. Well, it's disappointing to me on the moon
indeed. And then, you know, it's Oh, it's so hard. Oh, maybe
one day if we're really lucky. We're really we make iPhones but
if we're really lucky one day, we can do what you did 40 years
ago for really, really good. But it's so easy. We did it.
And you all believe what you want. Let's say this that Buzz
Aldrin he gets all pissed off when you question him on starts
hitting peak take a swing at you Yeah, well that why is that?
That's that you know, if he was, whatever, walk away, but no, he
gets all angry and gonna beat you up. Because the guy is
traumatised by the lie. He's had to tell all.
traumatised traumatised I tell you let's move from the Chinese
Chinese to the North Koreans. Oh, nice.
What you got. So
my bell Alright, I got you. I got you covered. Kim.
So he kills his uncle.
He kills his uncle makes a big deal out of it. And I wonder
what it's like apparently his
aunt is still alive. Why and his aunt is still alive he didn't
kill her. He killed
the uncle because the uncle was part of a plot to overthrow the
government in which seems to be the treason of some sort. And
then North Korea they don't put up with it. But it is the ABC
slanted reporting that I thought was better than the actual
incident because they go on with how this guy is trying to become
the ruler. Wow Kim Jong Hoon is now trying to consolidate his
power he's trying to take over the place killing it he's
killing this poor innocent guy just to show off his his power
and it's just believe me this is the worst kind of this is ABC at
his pinnacle of propaganda is to crap
on leader King Kim Jong Hoon has executed his once powerful uncle
labelling him and I quote worse than a dog and quote this
morning the world is taking notice of this apparent and very
brazen power grab ABCs Martha Raddatz travelling in the power
grab power we did. She joins us now from Vietnam. Martha.
Good morning, Josh. The news of the execution has stunned this
region of the world. Has Kim Jong Un executed a powerful
older family member. But the publicly announced something the
secret of nation just never does. photos were released of
the uncle being arrested bound and later dragged before a
military tribunal accused of trying to overthrow the young
leader. He was called a traitor for all ages and despicable
human scum. Experts fear this means the younger Kim has an
even greater lust for power over the nuclear armed nation and
will tolerate no dissent. Josh,
I know Martha, you will be covering it all. Thank you for
that. Wow. Wow.
Let's compare that to America where our president still keeps
people who are hunger striking in Gitmo, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
where they are starving themselves and where they have
no produce no due process. And you can take that to the bank
and I'm totally going to close down Gitmo. Oh, and then there's
this total
now appears to be 15 with five more injured from a US drone
strike in Yemen that missed its target this week, and struck
What witnesses described as a wedding party. The 24th reported
drone strike in Yemen so far this year. Hey,
harmonic Eli, everybody. Good. Hey, Oh, how about this power
grab. Moving
on. Now the former head of the Bank of Israel is about to
become the vice chairman of America's Federal Reserve.
Stanley Fischer, who led the Bank of Israel for eight years
has been asked to take over Janet Yellen 's position at the
US Fed yet to necessitate the top job from current boss Ben
Bernanke whose term ends in January. Fisher who was born in
Zambia holds both Israeli and American citizenships. The
announcement comes after the Bank of Canada's Chief Mark
Carney earlier this year, became the first foreign notes at the
Bank of England. There you
go the international bankers making their moves.
Wow. Sounds Mossad born in Zambia. Yeah, of
course, born in Zambia, dual citizenship. This is a problem.
Now, of course, the Fed is not an American institution. This is
why you know, this not even going to be reported on but it's
not an American institution. It's a private collection of
banks. And you don't you're not allowed to know who's actually
members of this collective because that's secret, but
there's an Israeli guy number two, with the without yelling,
peculiar yelling. Well, and then how about the the other guy
running the Bank of England? Yeah, another one. Yeah, it's
the international bankers are making their move for sure. For
sure,
talking about banking, there's a bunch there were two commercials
that were online for Microsoft Dynamics, huh? What's this? And
Microsoft Dynamics is like, it's adorable commercial that
Microsoft gov is doing but some guy playing plunk, plunk plunk
on the piano and then they have this guy talking to his various
kind of a litany of bankers that he uses to and there's a there's
a spot in the music and they're they don't say anything they
don't say anything but it shows up on the screen. And and it's a
it's the phrase for the Microsoft Dynamics, which is a
sap kind of clone of some sort. It says make happy the idea is
to make happy play the first one here,
meet Arturo two years ago he found the perfect place to put
down roots mark his relationship banker put together a plan. Mark
connected him with Clara in business banking, who secured
the financing and Katia and customer service followed up to
answer all of his questions which is how the teams working
together were able to do one simple thing may cap Microsoft
Dynamics one integrated CRM that unites your teams didn't hear
make happy in there. No, they
don't say they just show it on the screen. Oh, okay. Um, so I
was jumping in where they would have sent me I'm looking
at the website
make happy it doesn't say make happy here
so it says on the commercial says make happy and what is this
relationship? I'm gonna go see my honey I'm going to see my
relationship banker and my relationship banker a term and
some other banker who turned me on to customer service girl in
India.
This is a leader in the Salesforce automation. Okay.

of an upside down of a funnel. And the top is blue and then
red. I guess the green the bottom is where you make happy.
Yeah, yeah,
those guys are lost. No kidding. Are you doing twit today? Yeah,
as a matter of fact,
good. Let's talk about some tech before you go up there then. All
right. Let's see. Make happy. I got nothing has none. Except
Gmail and Yahoo thing we already talked about. And Twitter
changed their block. Did you see that? They wanted I heard about
it. I didn't see anything different. Well, because they
changed it right back. Oh, I missed it then. Yeah, they were
making it so that even if you blocked someone, then they could
still see your stuff. Oh, that's no good. No, exactly. And
everyone's like, Oh, this is no good. We did. The whole point is
to blog original place.
You're blocked again. Because you don't want to use too. You
want to use Twitter the way you want to use Twitter. I don't go
to Twitter to take a bunch of
gaff. But you understand why this has been removed? Yeah,
I understand now. Why. Really? No.
Because advertising does not always come as advertising. They
don't want you block blocking. Yeah, you can't be blocking
advertisers.
Oh, they didn't people stop using the service. I'm not going
to use Twitter. If I can't block people.
Well, apparently that well, that change will come. A change will
come
then I won't stop stop using is not a big deal. I'm not married
to Twitter. Here. I've got a thing for you. I want to tell
I'm going to ask you about this. After we played this is a clip
from the State Department starting with an s on a peculiar
grammar usage that I just kind of took me back a second.
First, as you know, Secretary carries on travelled to the
Middle East. He spent last week discussing security issues and
providing an update with General Allen on our detailed, lengthy
in depth in depth analysis. This right,
Link, Senator Kerry is on travel.
I'm back to Friday briefings. I'm sorry that August is over.
Oh, in this one time at bandcamp I don't have anything at the top
today. I stuck a flute in my procedure.
I just couldn't resist
now, okay, now. So here's the live one had discussed this on
travel. And I've run into this before I was at the wedding went
to Jaycees. And Jessie's when I heard about this was adulation
very well organised. Who anyway, they there to that didn't mean
it was really, it was tight. Do they have clowns? Besides me?
Oh,
oh, briefly, you want to just it was
like it was ceremony at the Friday they had this it was a
sit down thing afterwards like a dinner and they had I just had I
can't express it. But it was just extremely It was nice.
Everything was covered. There wasn't wasn't like a screwed up
mess or and.
And who did the the father of the bride pay?
By the way? I think that? No, they the two of them did really
just weird. But I think the only thing was they had some weird
ceremony where they had to have open sex in front of everybody
and I couldn't do it. Anyway, God, so I'm talking to somebody.
Your routine? Is that what you did with your standup? Because
that was pretty
raw. Just kind of mind material. Yeah, exactly. So wait, what
did you give everyone? A no agenda CD?
I gave a couple of the older people. Everyone else a bunch of
bots.
Hey, I'm the father of the groom. His this is what I do.
Have a listen kid.
So I'm sorry, from talking
to this woman and her boyfriend or her husband. There's two. And
she says that I've noticed this before. And I've actually talked
to buzzkill Junior about this. I've talked to everybody in that
millennial group. And they all look at me like I got four
eyeballs. When I asked them to explain how this is this really
the way they say it? She says yeah, I we were gonna do that.
But then. And then she could see the Oh, yeah, the thing blew up
on accident. Instead of by accident. By accident. What I
would say yeah, it was by by accident, it blew up on
accident. And that's where I triggered this thought because
it was on travel. I've asked people about this and this
millennial group, they all say what's wrong with that? Every
one of them to a man and a woman say yeah, on accident. That's
not When did this happen? It's on purpose. on accident. I think
that's where it stems from that you mentioned on purpose. Yeah,
if it's on purpose it can be on accident
Yeah, no language changes you know it does happen.
It is on purpose is on accident. It's on travel and it used to is
this way Why don't you by accident not on accident on
purpose. I guess. I think you were you hit it by accident. On
on, on accident on accident.
I hit it. I can't even
say on accident. So sounds so funny. Have you heard you heard
this notice?
No, no, but I have heard several times even here in Austin. Is
that the right temperature for you?
This I think is also stems from the he went to hospital
and graduate university,
graduate university.
And let me ask you a question. Well,
that's from a different tax Adam
X Adam. That's X Adam. Then of course there's more bullcrap
from Colorado which is partially the war on men, very young men
and partially bullying School District
in Colorado has backed off a sexual harassment charge against
a six year old boy. He was accused of kissing a classmate
on the hand. The school called it sexual harassment wanted to
put it in his permanent file, sleeve and put it on your file
sleeve. Now they put him on the list but analysts conduct note
in his school file instead. misconduct for kissing a girl on
the head. The mother of the girl involved as a teacher and says
the school was doing its job. Oh, yeah,
doing its job. Listen to this biatch
he's a little boy. And he's being silly and being naughty
and odd. He needs to learn not to do that. But it's you know,
it's
there's forgiveness and it's a huge story.
It's it's a small thing. It's the school district doing what
they're supposed to do.
The little boy has returned to school and his mother says she's
expecting an official letter from the school explaining the
removal of the sexual harassment line from this record. No
wonder this kids when they go to high school in Colorado, we're
ready to shoot people. No wonder depent your parents are insane
there. It was. It was a mistake. It was if you can do this.
He was being naughty, naughty six.
On his record, he kissed the girl on the hand. And that
mother you could just she was a teacher too. That's
inappropriate behaviour.
All right,
they Yeah, no, she's a horrible person. She's a horrible person.
All right. I've got one last clip. Oh, you can't because I
got a clip that you can finish with you're still have kids in
schools. Okay, if you got more kids at school I'm game to wait.
100 children at New York City run preschools and daycare
centres will be required to get a flu shot. Dr. J. Varma is with
New York City's Department of Health.
We expect that this requirement will save 10s of 1000s of kids
maybe up to as many as 20 to 25,000 kids from getting
severely ill.
We're going to save or create some kids. I think
young children are among the most likely to be hospitalised
or die from flu complications. Last flu season 169 children
died, four of them in New York City. Vaccine requirements for
measles, mumps and rubella are common in many cities and
states. But only Connecticut, New Jersey and now New York City
require the flu shot.
But we should we should watch this because that's the tri
state area. Now the tri state area has required flu shots we
should watch when the flu hits and I'm sure it will, and see
how well it does all these kids being safe.
New York City elementary school principal Carol schaffen Berg
says some parents have expressed concerns about safety. Your
parents are very
scared. I think they should have their choice. Yeah. Why did they
want to vaccinate their child done?
Yeah. But it's not up to you educator principle of the
schools and that up to you parents, your kids belong to the
state they will do as we say, but the
CDC considers the flu vaccine to be very safe with a small risk
of side effects such as allergic reaction. What would you say to
a parent who is concerned about how safe this vaccine is?
The most important thing for parents to understand is that
influenza is not the common cold. Influenza kills more
children, and hospitalised is more children than all other
vaccine preventable diseases in the United States combined, the
risk of having a severe complication from the flu
vaccine is extremely low, it's less than one in a million.
Under the new rule, children younger than five will be
required to get the flu vaccine by the end of 2014.
I'm so happy. And we don't have kids right now.
You'll notice I don't know I might be wrong on this. But I
remember the flu every year or usually starts in October. We
didn't. So it hasn't done that for at least four or five years.
And then it has been there's a lot of reports on the local
news, ooh, the flu, the flu, the flu. And they go on and on about
it. And then they talked about the fluid and you can get you
know, it goes on for like months. It goes like, you know,
starts in October goes into January and sometimes into
February. Right. And there's a lot of reporting on it. I
haven't seen that for a while. And I'm convinced this may be
this my little crack party thing of the day really? Okay. I'm
convinced that because of the modernization of China, which is
where the flu always stemmed from because it was a it was
because of the farming practices, where they kept the
pigs and the ducks and all these things bumping into each other.
Yeah, I believe that the modernization of China is pretty
much eliminated the flu, the causality of the flu, the where
it comes from to begin with. And I'm not seeing I think now the
fluid these guys are these guys are in trouble. We're seeing a
lot of this kind of promotion to get these shots sold because
it's a lot of investment that went into this flu stuff.
Because it was a moneymaker. Yeah. But now there's like
where's the flu?
That where is it now the bird flu is coming about they got it
this morning. I'm sorry. I have it here. I have the report. It's
true. It's coming
about like Health Alert this morning. Hong Kong reporting its
first human case of the age seven and nine strain made the
move from birds to humans earlier this year in China and
left more than 40 people dead. The Hong Kong patient reportedly
visited China last month and had contact with poultry there she
is in hospital in critical condition in hospital Hong Kong
has suspended imports of live poultry from three Chinese
farms. Yeah.
Where was that report from? I don't know who says in hospital
in this country. I
think that was CNN.
Oh, that's yeah, CNN is trying to get trying
to anglicised everything. Yeah, that's exactly what they're
doing.
Alright, well, I have my last thing. Okay. Nancy Pelosi is
nuts. Oh, boy.
It's funny. I wanted to end with the Pelosi clip. Well, you can
end with one no, not if this is your this is your version of
mathematics they're trying to extend this has been going on
for I don't know decades. You know this this the unemployment
thing is just keep giveaway if I was lucky enough to get on the
unemployment dole when it began in 2007. And it could stretch it
I wouldn't I wouldn't take a job in a million years. But here's
Pelosi these numbers merits of keeping the programme alive.
As far as unemployment benefits are concerned, the economic
impact is clear. Every dollar spent on unemployment benefits,
grows the economy by $1.52, according to Moody's Analytics,
$1 and a half for every dollar we spent, and that's a
conservative estimate.
What would you spend a trillion dollars we'll be out of the hole
he
done. I got a, I got a clip from her. And as we know, the the
Democratic Party really is targeting mothers and women in
general, to just hate the Republicans. Because those, of
course are the only two parties who are you can vote on. There's
no third parties, I guess, in America. And so she needs to lay
it on, but listen to but I actually just left the whole
clip in there because what the way she talks, she's insane.
She's senile.
This is Pelosi. Yeah,
she's senile.
It doesn't surprise me because we've been living with it for 26
years. For 23 Say of that time, I have told people that the
Republicans in Congress are against family planning. It's
not just about terminating a pregnancy. It's about disrespect
for women, in terms of their decision making to that the
sizing or timing of they're having family and
having family their time of having family but people didn't
really believe me until when Republicans took the majority,
one of the first things they did was to say we're going to shut
down government rather than fund Planned Parenthood. The reaction
they got to that was pretty loud and pretty clear. But that
really finally said to people see what I told you, they're not
about just about abortion, and being negative about that, which
is one subject. If you if you don't like abortion, and we
don't who likes that, but you should then support family
planning.
She talks yourself into a corner, like yeah, they're
against abortion. Well, yeah, of course. If you don't like
abortion ball who really likes it? No. I think everyone loves
abortion. Nancy, I think it's great. Abortion is great.
They don't and they've told me over and over again, we're not
for family planning domestically or internationally. It's a
stunning thing.
Isn't Do you think that keeps them on this anti woman crusade
or that wants to rewind the clock so many years,
leading the witness one word
disrespect that
she's from CNN or the No, she's the
she may be from CBS. Yeah, so disrespected. They just
disrespect women. What?
What makes those Republicans so disrespectful? And so such
haters of women, they don't they have mothers?
Yeah. Yeah. And I had this argument the other day. We have
in Texas, I don't know if it's the Hobby Lobby is that a
nationwide firm? Hobby Lobby. It's it's I never heard of Hobby
Lobby. Hobby Lobby is a craft shop. And it's funny, because we
have Michaels out here. I knew that this controversy was
ongoing. And I had in my mind, I got to tell Mickey, I got to
tell Mickey and I forgot. Because she goes to Hobby Lobby
all the time to get art supplies and stuff like that. And she'll
she would say in in a in an old bought presents, but oh yeah.
Went to Hobby Lobby and
she went to Hobby Lobby.
Because in Texas, the Hobby Lobby, who are fundamental
Christians who own the company, they are okay with providing
con, health care for insurance, healthcare insurance for
condoms, and other contraceptives, but not for the
morning after pill. And this is a very huge conversation, of
course, because of their what they are suing the state I
think, or maybe the maybe the federal government, they said
that we were okay to help supply you know, to pay for insurance
for family planning, but not for destruction as the way they see
it that based on religious beliefs. And so the question is,
can a corporation have a religious belief etcetera,
etcetera. And so, of course, if when Mickey is like, oh, yeah,
got this a Hobby Lobby. Bureau went to Hobby Lobby.
And I argued with someone the other day, I said, because what
is being said is they want to take away a woman's choice. I
said, Well, whatever you want, that's not the fact. They don't
want to pay for the insurance for that. But they're not saying
a woman can't choose to do whatever she wants is at the pay
for yourself. And I get this isn't any old me Of course. I'm
playing the devil's advocate, but it is met with such horror
when I say this to Just so you know, it's not health care, it's
health insurance. And they have an issue with after the fact,
Plan B. I think there's something to that. And it's not
removing a woman's choice. She can do whatever she wants in her
spare time with her own money. And you can't even broach the
conversation. Not that I really care. But it's just interesting
to see how people freak out. They've been programmed to think
that, that someone hates women Hobby Lobby whose entire
audience consists of women, because dudes don't shop at
Hobby Lobby, that they hate women. It's just like, wow, you
fucking programme people wake up.
What? Well, that's about as futile as anything you've ever
said.
Wake up people stop it
already.
All right. On Thursday, I will have 2014 predictions. I don't

Another tale of the Hollywood whackers. Well, well, well.
The autopsy report on Ronnie Chase. And do you remember her
from three years ago,
the PR woman who was shot and the Beverly Hills.
And at the time, I believe we had there was very little
information available. We had dissected it and she was a big
part of the Oscar promotions. Right. And this happened around
the Oscar promotion time. And if you recall the story, the
official story would eventually came out is some guy wanted on a
bicycle. Wanted to rob her, shot her four times and killed her.
And then when the cops came looking for him, he killed
himself.
Right? Yes, very common occurrence. Yes. in Beverly
Hills.
A documentary filmmaker who is on the phone I think in this
report who should probably stay out of the country. Sue the
Beverly Hills Police Department Beverly Hills Police Department
notorious for covering up anything showbiz. And he He's
suing for all of the investigative materials that he
sued for the true autopsy and wouldn't you know it, it's a
little different than the guy in the bike story.
According to the corners autopsy report published by The
Hollywood Reporter The public has died from for gunshot wounds
fired from what police initially described as a secondary
vehicle. The LA County Coroner's Office has withheld the report,
citing a security hold for three years. But it was released
following a lawsuit filed by documentary filmmaker Ryan
Katzenbach, who's launched a fundraising campaign for his
film about chasing, he spoke to us from the road tonight.
Nobody's really seemed to buy this idea that this lone guy is
Beverly Hills on a bicycle shop this woman, you know, four or
five times. And so I started to realise we had we had a story we
had something that we that we should definitely pursue.
Beverly Hills police have said an unemployed felon Harold
Martin Smith acted alone and rode his bicycle to Beverly
Hills, where he shot and killed Chase and in her Mercedes on
Whittier and sunset in November 2010 weeks later, Smith shot and
killed himself at the Harvey apartments as police entered to
question him the case was closed. It remains unclear if
that second vehicle is Smith's bike or another car mentioned
originally,
shots were fired from an SUV into her car and of course, as
we know the leader change that to be justice to be Harold Smith
on a bicycle. There you go.
takes a couple of years three years
later
yeah, well we'll see if he gets more information. I find this
fascinating because you know that I think then we we call
this we call that Russians right? We call it crap. Yeah, we
call it a money thing. She owed money to Russians. Right Russian
mob for promotion because where does the money the financing
come for a lot of these films. Russia Russian mob? Yeah, that
guy. That URI guy who's trying to turn Silicon Valley into
Hollywood?
Hmm
Well, I don't know about him, but the Russian mob has got
their fingers in LA stuff that they don't like to see go
astray. Yeah, I got we got to visit and then when you talk
about ESP being shot from getting the SUV It sounds very
Mabi very, very Mabi Yeah,
well, I'm trying to keep my friends with the Russians. And
we went to Russian house yesterday. Uh huh. With sir
Jean, he took us to lunch. And we had to borsch. Have you ever
had the, what's it called? Stars. I think it's called it's
a Russian drink. It's a soft drink and it's essentially
fermented barley before it becomes beer.
I have had the Icelandic version of that. Is it stars is that
what it's called? I think it's an Iceland is called them. It's
called something else. See what it's called?
It's called stars. I may very sweet
this nice and this actually wasn't
too sweet. It was kind of it was very nice. We took a bottle home
an extra an extra bottle. And we had we had the blinis with the
with the red caviar.
You didn't have any good caviar net Jean didn't get you any good
caviar from the back room. This was a beluga cetera something
decent you ate red caviar
was on the menu from trout. White, they weighed the red
caviar is not from the sturgeon. No from trout.
I believe so yeah. Trout over salmon. One of the Jews salmon I
think I think it's salmon row or whatever
the case is, is not the stuff you want.
What was very good. And we had the lots of beet Beet Salad
stuff. And that was nice. And it was a really tall Russian chick
running the joint. Make sense? He'd been Russia house and all?
Yes, it would. But it was the into the cuisine of Russia is
interesting. Is it? Well, yeah, it's it's kind of it's
everything is like that. But you know, individually. The bits and
bobs are okay. It's nice. Like, okay, I can imagine if I'm, you
know, if I'm under Stalin's rule, and you didn't think
that Snowden is enjoying his food. Let's put
it this way. Poor guy.
Jeans like What? What? No, that was nice. We had an extra
cabbage. Can you eat?
None of those beats lots of beats. I took home. So I took a
box home, which I never had a box that beats home. Yeah, it
was nice
salad. You can't beat it
and beat the beats. That's for sure. All right. I'm working on
NDA 2014. For you. It's about 1100 pages. I don't think we're
going to have anything as nutty as the National Defence
Authorization Act of 2012, which included section 702, etc. And
the right to be black bag, but I saw it has some space stuff in
there and some cyber stuff that I'm looking at. It's a lot of
reading. So be prepared for that. Along with a new segment
on the show 2014 predictions. And you have three of them. Yes,
I do. Bring your own
and might but I don't necessarily have to do it on the
next show. Okay.
